    Creative Science School

    Constructivism is the idea that meaningful knowledge is actively constructed rather than passively absorbed. 

    In a constructivist classroom, students are asked questions and invited to use what they already know to construct new ideas (creative) then test those ideas in context (science) in order to arrive at answers through experience and critical thinking. In short, students construct knowledge through inquiry and discovery. 

    At Creative Science School, teachers guide students through this practice of inquiry and discovery to promote curiosity, confidence, and connection— toward learning, toward themselves and each other, toward community— so that they may use these tools throughout their education and into adulthood.
