Introducing Project-Based Learning

Project-based learning takes the standardized curriculum your child is studying in the classroom a step further by having them apply these principles in dedicated interactive learning spaces. Your child will work collaboratively with their peers, be engaged in hands-on projects, whilst developing their communication and critical thinking skills. They will test hypotheses, solve problems, and find practical applications and answers to their many questions.

Imagine learning about bacteria, fermentation, and cultures in science class, then applying this knowledge by making yogurt in the culinary arts lab. Picture learning to speak Chinese or Spanish, then preparing a traditional dish that represents that culture. Dream about the possibilities for your child as they learn invaluable life skills and become proficient with a wide variety of tools, designing, fixing, and creating things in the makerspace.

Introducing Project-Based Learning

  • It is hypothesis and inquiry based, offering a situational problem to solve. This drives critical thinking skills.
  • It is team-based work, with more questioning and discussion. This encourages collaboration and communication skills.
  • It is student-led, as the teacher sets the parameters of the project, the student connects information from research to results, developing problem solving skills.

Whole-Student Approach

It’s not just about academics or athletics. It’s about your child’s whole self; their character, confidence, potential, and faith.

Tuition Support

The investment in a Catholic education can be affordable. Almost every Crusader receives tuition assistance in some form
