Sorry I am a little late on this!

My vote is for Lewis and Clark - HANDS DOWN. In fact, as far
as progressive education is concerned, I would argue that
Lewis and Clark's program is among the best in the nation.

I am currently finishing that program and have cherished my
experience. It is a very socially conscious college and LC
professors do a great job of opening one's eyes to the social
inequities embedded in our education system.

The Language Arts program is lead by Kimberly Campbell, a
phenomenal woman and passionate educator. Her curriculum
focuses on the workshop approach.

One of the program's strengths is its cohort approach. You'll
grow very close to to your fellow cohort members, since you
take many classes together and form a powerful support group.

Yes, Lewis and Clark is expensive, but its worth it. Graduates
of the LC program consistently report that they feel more
prepared than graduates of other programs when they enter the
work force.
