Inquiry-Based Learning

Learning by doing is learning that sticks.

At University Cooperative School, we ignite students’ natural curiosity through our dynamic inquiry-based learning program. Our approach transforms the classroom into a hub of exploration and discovery, where students take the lead in their learning journey. Not only is it more fun, but learning by doing is the best way to engage children’s natural curiosity and energy.

Student-Centered Exploration

We encourage students to ask questions, investigate real-world problems, and pursue their interests. This hands-on approach makes learning engaging and meaningful.


Thematic Study Units

Essential pieces of our curriculum are divided into thematic study units. While learning core academic concepts, students develop teamwork, focus on long-term projects, and understand connections among disciplines and topics. Students are encouraged to pursue their own interests, become experts, and then teach others what they know.


Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving

Students develop essential skills by tackling challenges and designing their own investigations. They learn to think critically, analyze evidence, and draw informed conclusions.


Interdisciplinary Connections

We integrate projects across subjects, helping students see the connections between different areas of knowledge. This holistic approach fosters a deeper understanding of the world.


Collaborative Learning

Students work together on projects, sharing ideas and learning from each other. This collaborative environment builds teamwork and communication skills.


Reflective Practice

Regular reflection helps students evaluate their learning process, understand their progress, and set goals for future inquiries.

Our inquiry-based learning program enhances academic skills and nurtures a lifelong love of learning. At University Cooperative School, we empower students to become curious, confident, and capable thinkers ready to explore the world.
