What is Discovery Time?

As part of a new initiative for this school year, all of our students will be attending a 20 minute period called Discovery Time. It will occur every Wednesday from 9:19 – 9:39 am.  The timetable for each student will list the teacher/room that they will be working with for Discovery Time.

During Discovery Time, it is our goal that teachers and students will have the chance to engage in meaningful activities that support both school and personal goals.  Discovery time will be a chance for students and teachers to connect outside of the regular classroom environment.   This could include discussions of topics from school assemblies, current events, school culture, as well as personal passions and interests.

Over the course of five years, students will interact with the same teacher during discovery time, enabling the culture of engagement with our students and contribute to lifelong learning.
