Project-Based Learning

Chartwell High School's curriculum is rooted in project-based learning, with most classes doing projects each semester. Project-based learning is an engaging way to learn, and it offers opportunities for students to clarify information and develop skills. The projects often consist of authentic experiences, involving active, hands-on problem solving and culminating in presentations.

Some projects involve field experiences—off campus explorations that provide information and experiential knowledge that relates to the project or topic of study. Projects also allow students to practice the planning, presentation, and interpersonal skills that will be so important to them in higher education and careers.
