The Maxine Greene High School for Imaginative Inquiry

DBN 03M299  •  insideschools.org  •  School Finder  •  2017 School Performance Dashboard
Overview Paragraph

The Maxine Greene High School for Imaginative Inquiry is a learning community in which deep engagement with works of art integrated across the curriculum enhances the intellectual rigor expected of all students. This work is based on the philosophy of Maxine Greene, the former Philosopher-in-Residence at Lincoln Center Education (LCE) and the exploration of the LCE Capacities for Imaginative Learning which comprise our academic language used to support student success. Through our Restorative Practices, we work to foster the sense of self-worth, empathy, and agency necessary for students to become participatory citizens who will create a more just, humane, and vibrant world.
