Welcome to the Falk Laboratory School

Falk School was born of two wishes: Leon Falk Jr. and Marjorie Falk Levy wished to establish a school that promoted progressive methods of teaching children that could be observed and studied by those who wished to pursue teaching as a vocation; and the University of Pittsburgh wished to establish and maintain an elementary demonstration school that was progressive and experimental and that would become an integral part of its educational mission.  
(from charter agreement, 1931)

Wishes for our children:    # six

We want our children...

... to use educational tools in developmentally appropriate ways to deepen understanding.

 

Everything that is really great and inspiring is
created by the individual who can labor in freedom.
--Albert Einstein
