OUR PEDAGOGY
Students at Trevor acquire a deep understanding of the
subjects they study by engaging in investigations, activities,
and highly contextualized discussions and lessons. Rather
than reciting facts or following a predetermined path to a
solution, students construct knowledge by grappling with
essential questions and real-world concepts. In this process,
the teacher acts as a guide and a facilitator, encouraging
higher-order thinking and providing information and
scaffolding as needed. This is inquiry-based learning at
Trevor, and students who are educated this way develop
lifelong processes, habits of mind, and a love for learning
that serves them into college and beyond.
