Social Justice
At The Civic School, we believe that education is a powerful tool for social change. That's why we incorporate social justice themes into our curriculum and encourage students to engage with the world around them. Our goal is to inspire students to become active and engaged citizens who are committed to making a difference in their communities.
Experiential Learning
We believe that hands-on, minds-on experiential learning is the most effective way for students to learn. That's why we incorporate a range of experiential learning opportunities into our curriculum, from field trips and service projects to outdoor education and project-based learning. These experiences help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world around them.
Outdoor Education
At The Civic School, we believe that spending time in nature is essential for our physical and emotional well-being. That's why we incorporate outdoor education into our curriculum, with opportunities for students to explore the natural world through camping trips, nature walks, and other outdoor activities. These experiences help students develop a sense of appreciation and respect for nature, as well as important life skills such as teamwork and leadership.
