The Academies Section

As John Dewey wisely said, “We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience.” In preparation for the upcoming school year, our teachers participated in training focused on highly effective teaming, ensuring they are equipped to model the collaborative skills essential for student success. By engaging in these practices themselves, they are ready to create dynamic, hands-on learning experiences where students learn by doing and reflecting. Together, the academies help build a community of learners who thrive through teamwork and active engagement.
