Julian Curtiss is in the midst of planning a special project that will teach our students about their individuality as well as their value as a member of our Julian Curtiss international community. This project has been proposed by the international photographer Mr. Alexandre Coric, parent of Zoe Coric, who is now a student at Central Middle School. The project will be submitted to the Inside/Out Project inspired by French street artist JR.

We have a student body and staff that represent over 60 countries and 30 different languages - highlighted in our tagline: 60 Countries, 30 Languages, 1 Great School.
The message of our project is being developed but we want to take into consideration the fact that the future depends on us, depends on our choices, our engagement, and our struggle. We want our future citizens to dare to be different, dare to embrace their very own self, dare to make mistakes, dare to accept themselves and build new solutions.
Here is a look at a similar project Mr. Alexandre Coric did with two schools in Haiti and France.
