Experiential Learning at B’nai Shalom Day School

Experiential learning. It’s all the “buzz” but has actually been a teaching philosophy since the ‘70’s.

Experiential learning is a hands-on approach to learning; it’s learning through experiences. It provides students with an active role in learning in the classroom.

At B’nai Shalom Day School in Greensboro, they’re taking experiential learning one step further and pairing it with social justice. For example, if a class is studying food scarcity, the students run their own food drives and visit the food bank. If your child’s class is learning about animal welfare, they work with organizations like the ASPCA or visit a farm to learn to care for animals. Or if your child is learning about immigration, they visit with newly immigrated children and help them adapt to American culture.

B’nai Shalom Day School has been incorporating experiential learning into its curriculum for years and by tying social justice into the experience of learning, it’s providing children with a meaningful education and values outside of the traditional core academics.
