Q&A with Ben

What do you love about teaching or your role at the school?
I love that my work supports my love of learning, and that my students from all walks of life are a huge source of that learning. I love that I get to live in a magical, remote corner of New Mexico, and that brilliant young people from all over the globe converge here to learn together how to be agents of positive change in a troubled world. I love that I get to work with my hands – at our school farm, in the Pecos wilderness, and in our local community, to make our values real and concrete.
I can be kind of intense at times, but it all comes from a place of love.
