Character Education Through Active Learning!
Since 1981, the award-winning Leadership School at Kieve has been developing leaders and strengthening communities by challenging students, teachers, and parents to think in a new way when it comes to the growth and development of the citizens of Maine.
The Leadership School at Kieve’s program is grounded in three principles:
1. Social connections and skills are critical to the success of students.
2. Active learning techniques engage students of all abilities and backgrounds. Active techniques that are fun and encourage metaphorical thinking facilitate maximum growth because it meets students where they are.
3. Solvable challenges of increasing difficulty enable students to accomplish more than they ever thought possible.
The Leadership School’s Core Program includes:
- A five-day residential experience
- An entire middle school grade, plus their teachers
- Partner Teacher workshop, including classroom materials (earning Professional Development contact hours)
- Parent Workshop: “Learning Together”
- Partner Teacher follow-up workshop at school
- Visitor’s Night for family and friends of students
Now annually serving approximately 7,000 students across Maine and hundreds from other states including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania, The Leadership School at Kieve combines rigorous and relevant group work, individual reflection, and a host of fun, interactive and adventure-based initiatives to address many of the issues youth face daily, both in and out of the school setting, like:
- bullying
- sexual harassment
- conflict resolution
- stereotypes
- drug and alcohol abuse
At The Leadership School at Kieve, students, teachers, and parents are encouraged to take positive risks, set meaningful goals, make healthy decisions, all while being supportive team members and strong leaders.
