In 2015, a photographer captured children attending school in rural Arkansas—a place where one-room schoolhouses and multi-age classrooms remained everyday reality. For generations of mountain families, education meant learning alongside neighbors of all ages in humble buildings, often far from town.
Art · Full story
The schoolhouse smells of wood and chalk dust. A handful of children sit at mismatched desks, their eyes on the teacher at the front. Outside the window, the Ozark hills roll on, and the nearest town feels very far away. Education happens here, in this small space, with whatever resources made the journey up the mountain.

What did your school building look like, and what did that environment teach you about learning itself?
