Harold G. Fearn Elementary School / Aurora Partnership for Teaching is an innovative partnership
between a public school district and local university teaching programs. The responsive design
supports multiple educational structures: grade level, teaming, multi-age and looping. Suites of four
classrooms are organized around small libraries, allowing students access to resource materials as
needed throughout the school day. The school has been widely recognized by educators and
architects, including a feature in Education Week.
