WILLIAMSBURG SCHOOL REMODELS EDUCATION
Williamsburg School for the Arts & Innovation, a new private, secular, project-based school, opens this fall.
Founded by Krista John, it serves grades 3-8 with plans to expand.
A unique feature allows homeschooling students to attend part-time.
The curriculum blends core skills with interdisciplinary projects like arts, STEM, design, and entrepreneurship.
Learning is individualized and self-paced, guided by teachers and professionals.
The school focuses on a growth mindset and connecting students with mentors in career fields.
It aims for financial accessibility with lower tuition than some private schools and plans for future aid.
The model emphasizes meeting students where they are and fostering engagement through meaningful projects.
A low 12:1 student-teacher ratio is planned.
Theatre is integrated into daily activities, building on a successful community program.
Finding a permanent location is currently a key challenge for the school.
