School is a place where children go to learn, but it can be so much more than that. By changing the way we think about education, we can change children’s lives, thereby creating a better future. At North Tampa Christian Academy, innovation and project based learning are at the core of what we do. Read on to learn about a few of the ways we’ve seen our students thrive over the years.
Sparks Imagination
Traditional learning methods focus on rote memorization and test preparedness, which doesn’t leave much room for creativity. Project-based learning encourages students to think outside the box. Problem solving becomes part of the journey, rather than the means to an end. The more students think on their own, the more successful they will be.
Encourages Questions
When the focus is on having all the right answers, there’s not a lot of room for asking questions. However, deeper learning happens when students ask questions to explore each lesson beyond the scope of what’s taught in the textbook. They can ask more about how it applies to their lives. Through questions and curiosity, innovation happens for teachers and students alike.
Inspires Growth
Children naturally grow as they gain experience in life. Innovative learning takes that an extra step, encouraging students to develop their own genius. Having more classes available to them and learning project-based lessons allows students to understand who they are and grow into the best version of themselves.
Allows for Unlimited Achievement
At schools that encourage collaboration and project-based learning, student achievement has no limits. Students aren’t bound to learning the lesson plan and moving on to the next one. In fact, teachers actively encourage students to expand their horizons every time they begin a new project. When students know they can achieve anything they set their minds to, you’ll be amazed by what they can accomplish.
At North Tampa Christian Academy, we offer more than a place for children to learn. Students at our Tampa private school thrive creatively, academically and spiritually in a project-based learning environment. Faculty and families work together to inspire leadership through Christian innovation. Contact us today to learn more.
