Work that Matters
Students learn best when engaged in work that matters—to themselves and to the world. At Watershed students embark on real-world learning that favors depth over breadth. Student understanding is strengthened through projects that are shared with their peers, experts, and members of the community.
“Watershed allows for so much freedom to explore meaningful and relevant topics, to go out and chase those topics down through experts, through experiences, through travel and then come back into the school and make sense of it. ”

At Watershed we engage students in work that matters. We partner with many organizations throughout the community and across the world, learning directly from experts and first-hand experiences. Our courses provide relevant and impactful ways for students to make a difference beyond the walls of the school, from gathering scientific research data for other organizations, to sharing their learning in town hall forums, to providing handmade mugs for new residents at TGTHR. We do this because it's good for our community and good for our students. It fosters better engagement, better skill development, more enduring understandings, and a deeper commitment to the common good.
