The Making School Matter podcast focuses on how schools should be a place of meaningful agency rather than something that happens to children. We explore best practices of engaging learners as they make meaning of content and how this learning is powered by neuroscience. Detroit Country Day School is based on immersion in challenging, innovative learning environments, a comprehensive approach that combines academics, athletics, and arts to maximize the opportunity for self-discovery and growth, and a deep dedication to hard work, no matter the pursuit.
