The Phoenix School
About
The Phoenix School is a school in Salem serving students from kindergarten through eighth grade. It is an experience-driven learning community that emphasizes process over product, using project-based learning to help students think critically, explore deeply, challenge themselves and learn from both failures and successes. Teachers get to know each child, identify strengths and interests, and tailor a personalized curriculum to individual needs.
The school’s building centers on a large open space divided into learning areas, with opportunities for hands-on learning for all ages. Phoenix broke from the traditional educational model roughly four decades ago by giving students an active voice in their own learning. Its mission is to develop compassionate, creative and technologically proficient global citizens, with students, teachers and parents from diverse backgrounds working together to build knowledge, values and leadership.
