Asking intelligent and provocative questions and teaching students to make knowledge their own are the essence of the Lab School's philosophy and the key element to our school's approach. Accessing information is the first step in constructing knowledge. Students are encouraged to listen carefully to differing perspectives and to reflect on what they've learned and how they've learned it. Students learn to incorporate a variety of approaches to build a repertoire of strategies for understanding and evaluating information. As a result, they begin to develop an understanding of the learning process itself.
