What can Hands-on
      Learning Do For My Student ?

During the week students are given opportunities to explore and experiment in a wide variety of activities which often encourages increased confidence and curiosity. Ultimately, building independence, boosting retention, and encouraging self-motivation.

 

Although often linked to science or creative subjects, hands-on learning can enhance knowledge across all areas. From role-playing in Bible class to building physical models in geography or using manipulatives in Math, students benefit from opportunities to learn through doing—connecting ideas with actions.

 

Hands-on learning is one of the least risky and safest ways to apply practical knowledge to real life. In other words, it allows students to make mistakes and learn from them.  Hands-on activities encourage students to think outside the box while improving critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills.

 

Whether the students are enacting characters for a Bible lesson, performing experiments, creating an entry for our Science fair, participating in cooking or sewing classes or simply constructing with Magnetic tiles or Legos your student begins to think analytically, then critically evaluate situations and find creative solutions.  This kind of practical problem-solving helps students develop valuable skills that are applicable beyond the classroom.​
