THE “LOOK” OF RENAISSANCE
You can “feel” the attitude and climate; you can “see” the culture of a Renaissance school. These best practices are designed to show all school stakeholders Renaissance through visual cues throughout school campus areas. Décor and designs of the front office and gym lobbies; visuals of murals and displays in the hallways, offices, bathrooms, outside walls, sidewalks, and other commons areas; and student “wearables” such as t-shirts and lanyards – all these elements make up the look and feel of a Renaissance school.
