From the supplier: The Snoqualmie Valley public schools in Washington use the home, with its warmth, security and understanding, as an analogy for its home-base middle school for sixth, seventh and eighth grades. This theme extends even to the design of the school building. Each grade has its neighborhood, a clustering of classrooms with a recognizable identity. The science and math classroom includes the computer and science lab stations and is made practical and lively and exciting. One design feature is task-at-hand lighting to avoid glare from computer screens. Another design feature is having plugs for laptop computers placed strategically around the rooms so laptops can be used by individuals, in small groups or by large groups. Laptop technology is expected to be an important part of each student's educational experience. The Snoqualmie Valley emphasizes students as persons with complex social, psychological and emotional needs.
