My Nonprofit Reviews

Spectrum Progressive School provides a unique educational opportunity for each child attending this pre-school through eighth grade setting. The school, built on the progressive educational model by John Dewey and Jean Piaget, has remained true to progressive education for 50 years. Located near a 2- acre restored prairie near the Rockford University campus, Spectrum offers a chance for students to explore the natural world. They also often partner with the university's fine arts and sports department to offer enhanced resources. I first discovered Spectrum School while exploring job opportunities as an independent educational contractor. While I have worked within many different schools settings, I have never visited a school that provides such a unique and balanced learning environment for each student. Spectrum also fosters growth for every staff member by providing ongoing professional development. Everyone at Spectrum grows . It's truly a special place !
