How do we facilitate the work of youth as self-directed producers and learners?

Allowing students to design learning experiences based on their own unique interests and passions encourages them to be self-motivated, independent thinkers who are capable of solving problems, thinking critically, and who are prepared for post-secondary options and the workforce. Personalized learning plans are designed for each student.

What is Project-Based Learning?

Project-Based Learning (PBL) gets kids excited about learning by tailoring learning opportunities to match their interests. Students pursue their passions and academics at the same time by earning credit for projects they design.

• Love to draw? Create a comic book about an interesting person or event in history.
• Video games more your speed? Learn about an ancient civilization and build a game.
• Like to hunt or fish? Turn your trophy into an anatomy lesson.
• You like to cook - bake a cake that represents the layers of the earth's crust.
• Want to take a hike? Photograph and identify wildlife along the way.
