The Logan School for Creative Learning

The mission of The Logan School for Creative Learning is to provide an experiential- based educational opportunity for gifted children of all backgrounds that allows each child to develop individually to his or her full potential. There are five basic values that serve as the cornerstone from which we establish this environment: Empowering Children, Opening Doors, Fostering Responsibility, Fostering Independence, and Fostering Care and Concern for Others.

In addition to the core curriculum, Logan offers students the chance to take elective classes on a variety of subjects. Since the 2009-2010 school year, a Garden to Table class has been offered by two volunteer parent-teachers, Bonnie Kimmell and Carla Lawrence. The students learn how to grow, harvest, identify, prepare, and preserve foods. The kids spend time outdoors in the school’s community garden, picking and planting, and then cooking delicious dishes in the kids’ kitchen.
