As we close out 2025, we reflect on a year of big transitions, hard truths, and deep community. We talk about parenting through uncertainty, choosing schools rooted in belonging over prestige, and raising kids in a world that feels increasingly unstable. We look back on this season’s conversations, share reflections from our first-ever in-person Integrated Schools gathering, and remind ourselves why community is not optional—it’s how we survive and stay in the work. Ten years into Integrated Schools, we’re still here. And we’re carrying this together.
