PROGRAM ENHANCED BY ENLARGED LEARNING SPACES
by Jenn McLean, Director of Studies

Learning involves constructing your own knowledge and understanding through dialogue with others.

Educational research tells us that people who are actively engaged in learning through discovery, and who learn collaboratively, understand ideas at a deeper level.  This kind of learning enables every child to create his or her own meaning and make connections between concepts and their broader context in the world.  Giving information to learners is not enough; to really understand something, people have to construct or reconstruct concepts for themselves. 

Facilitating this kind of learning for our students requires spaces that will allow for collaboration and active learning experiences. The Foundations for Learning campaign provided us with the spaces we needed for our rich educational program.  Thank you all.
