Cityside at Wheeler
Title
Cityside at Wheeler
Description
The Cityside program at the Wheeler School is a a year-long interdisciplinary experience embedded in the City of Providence for 8th graders. The program leverages Providence’s 25 neighborhoods, working with various NGOs, non-profit organizations, community groups, and branches of government to provide a rich curriculum for civic engagement, project-based learning, inquiry, and research. Cityside supports students in their exploration of interests as they form meaningful partnerships with collaborating organizations including Waterfire Providence, as well as other Providence artists, activists, local business owners, environmental experts and city officials, to develop projects of relevance to the student, to create value for the community, and to leave a positive impact on the city and student. For the 2020-2021 school year, students were asked to focus on the impact of COVID-19 on the City of Providence.
