The academic program for students in grades 5-8 includes personalized student projects designed to enhance deeper learning.

Deeper learning focuses on learning how to learn. Students learn the ability to transfer knowledge across situations, applying cognitive and non-cognitive skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation and persistence.

Deeper learning is the skill of taking acquired knowledge and using it creatively in real world applications.

Examples of student projects for our first term are included in the document below.
