any wise educators and philosophers
have said, "It's not what you learn but
how you learn." According to studies
across educational disciplines, the "how"
in deep learning comes from hands-on, experiential
learning—an approach that schools and training
providers are implementing more of.
At Stratford Hall, an independent school in
Vancouver, experiential learning is a cornerstone of
its educational philosophy. The school follows the
International Baccalaureate (IB) framework, which
emphasizes inquiry-based learning and encourages
students to become active participants in their
education.
