What School Could Be is thrilled to spotlight the remarkable work of Fielding International in Rhode Island. In October 2024, Fielding released an inspiring video series that captures the essence of innovation, imagination, and creativity—particularly in school design—at Garden City Elementary School, part of Cranston Public Schools.

Titled Garden City: The Future of Education - A Short Film Series, this collection takes viewers on an immersive journey through the school's groundbreaking design and forward-thinking educational approach. From sweeping overviews of the school’s state-of-the-art facilities to intimate, documentary-style glimpses of daily life, the series highlights how Garden City’s design transforms traditional classrooms into vibrant, student-centered learning communities. It showcases the profound impact on teaching, learning, and overall well-being, with enhanced opportunities for collaboration and creativity.

The series also includes an exciting fly-through of the school’s innovative spaces, illustrating the tangible benefits these environments provide to students, teachers, and staff.

At What School Could Be, we’re asking: How can we help others discover and learn from Garden City’s visionary approach? If you're interested in hosting a virtual screening and discussion of this film series, please contact us at info@whatschoolcouldbe.org.
