Learners & Families

Welcome to Norris School District

At Norris, learners are empowered to ignite their interests and have high levels of Learner Agency by actively participating with purpose to build a deep understanding of self and to co-design plans and pathways that unleash their uniqueness and develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to pursue their passions and interests through experiential community-based learning. Learners are given the atonomy to become Socially Embedded, self-aware, self-directed, capable learners who confidently act with purpose to achieve their desired outcomes. They are Dynamic Leaders who take the initiative to advocate for their needs, serve, and influence others in positive ways. At Norris, each learner’s curiosity is ignited as they become resilient Solution Seekers who think deeply to creatively solve problems related to practice and inquiry. These Norris practices exemplify how Norris “Changes Lives through the Power of Learning” and “Builds Leaders at all Levels” throughout the Norris learning ecosystem to equip learners to navigate an unpredictable future.
