Experience-based learning is at the core of our instruction. Our goal is to provide students with a variety of learning opportunities and experiences. Students are engaged in real-world applications of knowledge and skills, which builds understanding and confidence.
Failure is an integral part of learning. Viewing failure as unacceptable discourages risk taking and creativity. Growth comes from struggle, mistakes, and challenges. Students should feel safe to make mistakes.
