Experiential Learning
Classrooms Without Walls – experiential learning, if you will – brings our students into the community, and brings the community to our students, faculty, and families. Service learning is key to global citizenship; expendable resources enable projects for all learners, regardless of age. Through this initiative, we're bringing presentations to campus, including Jayme Stone's LOMAX project, professional development on Project-Based Learning, and a pivotal talk about the bilingual brain with Harvard expert Dr. Gigi Luk. We are also sending our learners out into the world for opportunities such as the National History Bee championships, increased athletics activities, and on a student art-buying initiative to help develop a mobile gallery via the Cherry Creek Arts Festival.
