School Notes
- Appamada School is a student-centered and process-based program that focuses on creative growth rather than outcomes. This fosters the nonlinear nature of learning that comes naturally to people.
- Appamada nurtures a reverent culture that allows students to feel safe being their authentic selves. In that vulnerable space, students can learn in a connected way that honors taking risks and pushing boundaries.
- Our program is individualized to each student's needs and supports them in an inside-out process of discovery. This means they can curate a vibrant education that stretches them intellectually, creatively, and is deeply meaningful. Appamada allows our students to develop skills that are relevant to who they are as an individual and what they want to do after high school.
