At LREI (Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High School), our goal is to educate students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners, and to pursue academic excellence and individual achievement in a context of respect for others and service to the community. We believe that learning should be active and experiential, with the school providing abundant opportunities for students to excel. We seek to create within the school a community built on understanding and respecting others. The progressive ideals that in 1921 gave life and inspiration to the school — academic excellence and creativity, active learning and innovative teaching, respect for the individual and responsibility to the community — continue to guide the school today.
