Cadwell Collaborative

Cadwell Collaborative helps schools realize their visions and goals as they become exemplary organizations, where students, teachers, and parents learn and work with their communities to create a hopeful, healthy future through excellent, purposeful, creative work. Cadwell Collaborative believes in the power of young people's intelligence, creativity and innate understanding that all living things are interdependent and interconnected. We believe that all schools can be dynamic, engaging places where adults and children develop the knowledge, skills and values to create a healthy, hopeful future for themselves, their communities, and the planet. Our approach combines excellence in academic content and skills with real world projects and unites strong school cultures with community collaboration and authentic youth engagement.
