A few months ago, when I first began reporting on topics in education, I had the privilege of speaking with Peter James. Mr. James has been the director of Great Expectations School (GES), which opened in the fall of 2003, for the past 16 years. It is a k-8 facility that enrolls roughly 110 students and employs 26 teachers and staff. GES is a tuition-free, public charter school where the focus is to prioritize the learners’ social and emotional development. The school is designed to provide the opportunity for new ideas and visions in education to take shape.
Peter spoke with me then about the pride he had in his school, his colleagues, and the students he was preparing for successful futures.
