SUMMARY:"Most Likely to Succeed" Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a FREE screening of the acclaimed documentary\, Most Likely to Succeed\, at Bennett! Save your spot. \nBennett Day School is proud to have received the “New School Creation Fellowship” from High Tech High\, the school featured in this documentary. Bennett Day School offers a similarly progressive program focused on project-based and purpose-driven learning. Our Upper Schoolers got the chance to shadow High Tech High students a few years ago during their trip to California. \nAbout the Film\nMost Likely to Succeed is a thought-provoking documentary feature film that reveals the growing shortcomings of conventional education methods in today’s innovative world. The film explores compelling new approaches that aim to revolutionize education as we know it\, inspiring school communities to reimagine what school could be\, and what could be school. Most Likely to Succeed was an official selection of more than two-dozen prestigious film festivals\, including Sundance\, Tribeca\, AFI\, and SXSW EDU. It’s been screened by thousands of communities\, in some 35 different countries. \n
