Early Friday morning, students and staff at Grace M. James Academy of Excellence were honored with a new recognition from Magnify Learning.
Magnify Learning is a teacher-driven provider of Project Based Learning professional development. Through Project Based Learning, students learn real-world skills and find purpose, educators create inspiring classrooms with authentic learning experiences and school leaders fulfill their vision for academic growth and a thriving school community. Now, Grace M. James Academy is a model for this work.
Students cheered as they revealed a new banner reading "PBL Model School 2025, for authentic project-based learning." This means that when other schools wish to foster critical thinking, cultivate collaboration and empower students to apply knowledge in real-world contexts through Project Based Learning, they can look to Grace M. James Academy of Excellence to see how it's done.
