Cultivating a culture of belonging is a strategic priority at Graland Country Day School. At the center of our strategic plan is the word thrive, and belonging is a prerequisite for thriving. To make this happen, we conduct empathy interviews with communities of focus, create pilots, and then measure the impact. Knowing that all students, families, and educators are assets to the community, we lean on the collective genius of everyone involved to co-create actionable, bite-sized pilots. With the communities of focus in mind, we design pilots to increase belonging for all community members.

The Logan School for Creative Learning
At The Logan School for Creative Learning, students think as individuals who learn in a collaborative and compassionate community. It means students create spaces that encourage exploration and emphasize experiential learning. Logan students are critical thinkers and problem-solvers. They lean into curiosity through research, reasoning, and recording. The Logan School is more than just a school—it’s a dynamic community. Giftedness is not part-time for Logan students. Rather than providing short-term enrichment opportunities, Logan creates a space where gifted students’ needs can be identified and met by expert teachers and where they can find a community of peers that understands and supports them. A student’s individual interests are the driver of their learning and through self-directed units of study, our students are the heroes of their own education stories.
