Exploring and learning occurs both in and out of the classroom. At the Math & Science Exploratory School, formerly the Upper Carroll School, learning is experienced based. We support experientially based learning experiences, collaborating with math and science institutions to provide our children opportunities to investigate and expand their understanding of the world around them. We offer our weekly offsite research program implemented schoolwide. Through engaging students in activites that stimulate the roles of mathematician and scientist, students work collaboratively to develop/identify questions, hypothesize, design action plans for further exploration/problem solving, collect qualitive and quantitive data and draw conclusions. We aim to develop and nurture students' critical thinking and problem solving skills.
