DISCOVER


“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” 




Constructivist theory  helps us to understand how humans construct new knowledge. Through multi-sensory, kinesthetic learning students are learning to explore our world. They are constantly evaluating, reflecting and negotiating a fit of new learning into their existing knowledge while being challenged by their peers, environment, activities and teachers.



We encourage students to be active and engaged in their learning. Experiencing authentic, real life activities that inspires and motivates new learning. The students have choice about the activities they engage in for their own learning and therefore is purposeful to each individual. They learn at their own pace, in their time with support of their peers and facilitation of the teachers.

Learning within our community with the people who help to make connections and links to the real world.
