PLACE-BASED AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Place-based and experiential learning cultivates an approach to learning that creates authentic and engaging learning experiences by employing the power of place.  At CSLC, the classroom is not confined to walls—it is the world around us. Understanding place begins with understanding self – your role in the community and then expands to classrooms, communities, regions, nations and the world. We utilize our local geography to build practical, real-world learning experiences that further equip students with the tools they need to collaborate, think critically and solve complex challenges. This results in deeper learning outcomes that include and extend beyond content knowledge and serve as the foundation for the study of language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science.
