The Colorado Springs School embraces the concept of learning by doing, both within and beyond the classroom. Our Middle School students travel throughout the region on curriculum-based seminars designed to reinforce academic skills and teach life lessons through firsthand experience.
Through our focus on strong academics supported by experience-based learning, students:
- Learn subject matter more thoroughly and more deeply, and retain information longer than in traditional, passive learning environments.
- Are active participants in a relaxed, focused atmosphere.
- Gain a sense of responsibility and independence, while also learning the importance of collaboration.
- Discover how to apply learned information to new settings.
- Learn about themselves, others, and the world.
- Develop the confidence that comes only by doing.
