At Redbridge International School, we follow a transdisciplinary learning through inquiry approach, which means incorporating all the curriculum areas in a contextualized way and developing our transverse skills through projects, which are meaningful to students and inspire their curiosity:

• Projects stem from the student’s interests, ideas, and suggestions (“Wonder Wall”);
• Significant content: incorporating what teachers think is essential for the understanding of a defined topic, whilst matching curriculum objectives to the projects;
• Need to know: for any objectives not met by projects throughout the year, teachers propose content by launching a project with an “entry event” (teasing moment) that engages students’ interest and initiates questioning;
• A driving question: through the initial brainstorming (What do we know? What do we want to find out?), finding a question that will capture the heart of the project giving students a challenge and a sense of purpose;
• Student voice and choice: deciding on how to design, create and present the project;
• Conducting real inquiries and valuing questioning, hypothesizing, and openness to new ideas and perspectives;
• Communication and feedback: students consider the audience, how they will share what they have learned, and with whom so that they can receive constructive criticism.
