Projects bring people together
At Wahaha WBS Middle School, we believe that students develop and thrive in an environment which allows them to create, design, synthesize, and collaborate.
Collaborative
Students work in pairs or small groups which builds teamwork.
Integrated
Every project flows directly from content covered in lessons.
Practical
Each project focuses on skills and produces real world results.
Projects Build Better Students
"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." - Einstein
Projects help students develop many useful skills for the real world including: teamwork, communication, delegation, responsibility, prioritization, and others – all of which give them an advantage in study, career, and life.
Projects create real-world outcomes which students can use to make their portfolio, a visual guide to what they have learned. This is invaluable in school and job interviews and clearly shows their growth and commitment to tasks.
Middle School students often feel overwhelmed with the number of academic tasks they are assigned and don’t understand their purpose. Projects give them the opportunity to relax and engage their creative side which helps connect concepts to outcome.
