Burgundy Farm Country Day School. If I could go back in time this is where I'd want to go for elementary. They have a wonderful student-led approach to learning. One Kindergarten class, for example, got interested in bees so they spent months learning about the lifecycle of bees, had an apiarist come in to talk to the class, visited a honey farm, etc. Or another class got interested in shops so they visited a shopping center and met a business owner, learned about advertising and consumerism, set up their own shops in the classroom and had another classroom visit with play money to go shopping. The idea, I think (I'm not doing a great job explaining this because I'm not an educator), is that kids learn best when they're engaged. So rather than say "we're learning math today" and then trying to tie it to interests - the teachers are guided by what the kids are interested in and then work their lessons into their natural enthusiasm.
It's K-8 and I'm sure it's different at the older grade levels but our kids are in the early elementary level so that's what I know.
