Explore

Exploratory curricula allow youth to experience topics beyond the core subjects. It is “an approach to teaching and training that encourages the learner to explore and experiment to uncover relationships.

Discover

Allowing youth to inquire and discover answers for themselves often leads to them remembering and applying the learning at a later date and to similar tasks.

Experience

Experiential Learning is the process of learning by doing. We know children learn by doing, and engaging students in hands-on experiences and reflection greatly impact learning outcomes.

Not all those who wander are lost.
