Murray Road isn't just another program offered by Newton North. lt's not just academic classes and motivated students. Nor is it just athletics and sports teamsg music and drama, all school policy meetings, or parties and dances. It's all of these things- and more. More? Yes, more of the same, but lots of different things. Classes, for example. Someone's schedule could include Hard Working English, The Re- naissance, lntense Spanish and Junior-Year Math, as well as Theatre Arts, Psychology, Chinese Cooking and Oil Painting. There's room to explore the variety, room to try. Exploring new kinds of learning means lots of field trips and guest speakers, job internships, total immersion into a subject, Ctwo weeks on a reservation, studying the American Indianj, problem solving approaches to learning. Ex- ploring learning opportunities means going beyond Murray Road's faculty and having students, parents, graduate students and professionals teach. Since learning doesn't start at 8:15 and end by 2:30 every day, credit is given beyond the classroom. Building a harpsicord, teaching in the pre-school, keeping a journal while living on a Kibbutz in Israel- all these projects received credit. But Murray Road is more than a school and graduation requirements. lt's a supportive, accepting atmosphere. lt's seventy people all excited about a party they're going to have together. lt's being asked, What's wrong? , when you look unhappy. lt's general frustration after an unproductive meeting, and a group yell. lt's a friend telling a friend, I love you.
