As the country struggles to emerge from the pandemic,
OUR SCHOOL explores a radical solution to one of our
toughest challenges: how to create a high quality,
equitable system of education. The film introduces audiences
to teachers, students, families and others working together in
different parts of the country to develop Community Schools.
They draw on proven strategies that offer children,
including the most vulnerable, a high-level curriculum
along with the supports they need to succeed – from
health care to arts and STEM programs that would be the
envy of any wealthy suburb. The film captures the hopes
and dreams of people involved in this movement, and
asks: Can it level the playing field for America’s kids?
