Learning
The words of this Chinese proverb capture the essence of our philosophy of learning at Tesseract School.
“Tell me and I'll forget;
Show me and I may remember;
involve me and I'll understand.”
True education flourishes when students are fully engaged — actively participating in the experience of learning. To achieve this uniquely involving educational dynamic, we focus on four key elements:
Student-Centered Approach - Understanding our students and teaching how they learn by allowing them to make their own connections, to process and retain information in a way meaningful to them, so they can comprehend concepts at their own level.
Multi-Dimensional Assessment - Measuring the progress of our students — and the effectiveness of our teaching — with assessments that provide feedback on the depth of learning and recognize that students learn differently.
Integrated Curriculum - Treating the full spectrum of subject areas — from math to foreign language, science to the arts — not as separate and isolated topics but connected as part of a well-rounded, multi-sensory, experience-based education, nurtured in the classroom, on field trips and through hands-on activities.
Biological Revolution - Keeping education social, stimulating learning through collaboration and creating a synergy that involves every student as part of an interactive, organic learning environment.
Signature Programs
Along with mastering the basics — and applying what they learn to the real world — our students are engaged and enriched through exceptional programs that distinguish Tesseract from other schools, including Global Education, Digital Revolution, Service Learning and other unique educational offerings.
