Paideia selects 2023-24 Directory Cover
Paideia’s High School advanced drawing and painting class were asked to think about what makes Paideia special, where Paideia is during this season of transition, and what characteristics are essential to the ethos of Paideia for the design of the 2023-24 Directory cover.
