Our Learning Center is located at the heart of our campus in between the elementary and high school buildings. The Learning Center is home to two makerspaces as well as other collaborative learning spaces and over 6,500 physical and digital books. Teachers and students can reserve spaces to work collaboratively with one another with room for up to five class sections at any given time. There are small nooks for students who need some space to read and reflect, there are lounge spaces for others to sit, read, and discuss ideas. Early elementary year students receive weekly library classes to instill in them a love and appreciation for reading. All students receive weekly technology classes in the new makerspaces.
We believe in the importance of students applying their learning to real life problems and developing solutions through trial and error. As a result, we have been in the process of developing our very own Makerspaces to help facilitate transdisciplinary thinking and applying technology to help innovate solutions. The Learning Center is our technology hub in which you will find our elementary and high school technology teachers and technology specialists. There are official-sized Lego Robotics tables, technology such as piper computer kits, rasberry pi technology, and our first 3D printer. Over time we will continue to add more tools and materials to build an innovation-oriented tinkering lab.
