Students often struggle to understand the relevance between the content they are learning at school and how it relates to the real world. At THS, project based learning is a powerful teaching methodology used to reiterate classroom concepts by applying them to real world problems.

Welcome to 2021! The vaccine is on its way, we are into the swing of virtual classrooms, and we know that in a few months we’ll be able to travel again and have more security in our jobs and schools. So why are we not all dancing in the streets and giving (still virtual) high fives?

Charles Darwin devised his theory of evolution by going out into the field to study animals, insects, and marine life. In fact, he struggled to reconcile some of the knowledge he learned at university with his observations of the evidence in the natural world. THS’s unique approach to learning, often misunderstood as play-based, is in fact like Darwin’s learning, based on experiencing.
