Description
Summary:	This documentary depicts one year at the Center School, a boldly independent and startlingly upbeat public middle school in New York City. Built upon the philosophy that how a child learns is as important as what a child learnes, 5th-8th graders are mixed in almost all classes—and somehow it actually works. This film offers a rare insider’s view into the daily lives of students and teachers at the school, featuring remarkably candid and unfiltered commentary from students about the joy and complexity of being 10-14 years old.
