ACTIVE LEARNING

Active learning keeps the students more engaged and willing to learn, and real-world problems capture their interest and provoke serious thinking. It inspires the students to obtain a deeper knowledge of what they're studying and apply it in a problem-solving context. 

While working in small collaborative groups, our students investigate meaningful questions that require them to gather information and think critically.

In the process, they learn key academic content, hone their organizational and research skills, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic products & presentations.

 This kind of learning is also an effective way to integrate technology into the curriculum. A typical project can easily accommodate computers and the Internet, as well as interactive whiteboards, digital still cameras, video cameras, and associated editing equipment.

The following are some of the students’ project presentations.
