Here at Hawbridge, I’ve found the flexibility, autonomy, respect, and trust I’ve always needed to teach my students in a developmentally appropriate way. I’m so thankful I gave this place a shot before leaving teaching forever – I have found my spark again!

Hawbridge allows teachers to incorporate the outdoors and arts into their teaching. Theatre is a big part of my life outside of school. Our school has access to a lovely outdoor amphitheater. I enjoy being outside and using my interests and talents in the classroom.

The school respects my expertise, supports my teaching, and minimizes the demands on my time. I’m part of a community that strives to be a place of welcome for everyone. I’ve been here more than a decade and can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Hawbridge is a part of a greater community, and we treat it as such. We are empowered to learn and teach in the ways that work best for everyone of us.
Hawbridge inspires me to be a more intentional, creative teacher. Place-based learning happens so naturally with our diverse and committed community members and outdoor learning spaces.
