PBL is a Critical Thinking Lab

Critical Thinking labs, where possible solutions to a real-world problem are evaluated over 8 weeks, are required courses for all students, in addition to their regular academic classes.
Problem Based Learning
Working in small groups, students work to creatively solve complex problems applying information from regular classes, from library or internet research, and from their own experiments and observations.

Traditional learning objectives are integrated with experiential and problem based learning approaches.

Greenway students then apply these approaches in content-rich simulations of real life problems.

Middle schoolers learn to analyze a complex problem, to research it extensively, and to develop creative solutions which they present to the rest of the school.

"Genuine freedom...

rests in the trained

power  of  thought,

in the ability to

turn things over,

to look at matters

deliberately,

to judge whether

the amount and kind

of evidence requisite

for decision is at hand,

and if not, to tell

where and how to seek

 such evidence."

~  John Dewey
