OUR APPROACH TO SCIENCE
Our curriculum is designed to put campers into the role of scientists.
With hands-on activities and guided experiments, we challenge and support our campers as they learn through their own experiences. We cultivate meaningful discussions by listening to our campers and building on their knowledge. We present questions and thrive on discoveries made in the classroom. We embrace failure as an opportunity to grow and we always encourage campers to try and try again. Every lesson at Hollingworth is carefully designed to ensure it is both engaging and developmentally appropriate for our young learners.
