I had come because this site had been held up to me as a shining example of the school of the future, the school rethought, the alternative to the old way of conceiving and designing school sites, an end to the specialized silo of the single service. [...] Not that we realized that in doing so we were following certain central tenets of the Progressive Education movement in the first third of the 20th century, or following in the footsteps of the settlement movement in the Progressive Era, or that the vision had been realized spectacularly in a small industrial city of Michigan in the 1930s as we shall see below. [...] In all four of the above models, we need to add, there is nothing that by necessity integrates the life of the school with the community uses of the school. [...] This situation has been complicated by the evolution of French edu- cation governance following the repatriation of the Canadian 23 David Clandfield Constitution and the adoption of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1981 with its protections of the educational rights of official language groups. [...] One is the sense that, as a community hub, the school is to be open to the neighbourhood for a range of services and activities that goes beyond the teaching and care of children both in time and space.
