Our approach is designed to nurture the whole child through: Inquiry-Based Learning Educators inspire students to follow their curiosities, encouraging students to think critically about the questions that arise in classroom conversations. This guides curriculum and gives students agency over their own learning. Hands-On Learning Students actively engage with the course material through different mediums. Additionally, outdoor learning is integral to the curriculum. Students spend time exploring nature, learning about ecosystems, developing physical confidence, and finding joy outdoors. Interwoven Subjects Cross-curricular learning gives students a deeper understanding of the material. They make connections between lessons in different subjects, such as making food from a country studied in history or designing DaVinci inspired contraptions in art. Data-Driven Instruction Small class sizes with a 9:1 student/teacher ratio allows for targeted instruction for each child, based on continual qualitative and quantitative assessments throughout the year. Real-world Application We invite expert speakers to share wisdom that directly applies to classroom content. Additionally, the business field trip series gives students opportunities to have firsthand interactions with professionals in the workplace.
