A hop, skip and a giant leap to learning by doing
We see every student as a competent and capable learner — an active co-creator in their own educational journey, not a passive recipient of information. Learning is driven by student interests, not textbooks, which helps them connect to the world in authentic, relevant, and meaningful ways. In an experiential learning environment, the focus is on the process and real-world problem-solving, cultivating adaptability, and a growth mindset. It offers a vibrant, interactive, and tactile method that encourages students to take ownership of their learning.
By connecting classroom content to real-world applications, projects cultivate a deep sense of significance and direction in students’ educational journeys. Our teachers guide students toward important academic and intellectual milestones that foster curiosity, innovation, and mastery.
OBJECTIVES OF THE HIXS Experiential LEARNING EXPERIENCE:
Learning is driven by student interests, which helps them connect to the world in authentic, relevant, and meaningful ways.
The focus is on the process. Overcoming challenges cultivates a growth mindset, adaptability and resilience.
Students work together as a team, which develops social-emotional skills like collaboration, conflict resolution, and communication.
Cross-disciplinary exploration allows learners to apply their knowledge and skills across disciplines in a manner that mimics the skills necessary to be an effective citizen of the world.
Students dive deep into “real-world” problems, which naturally builds social consciousness and responsibility.
