Mission

To educate all students in methods that encourage creativity, support problem solving and produce lifelong learners. We believe that how one learns is as important as what one learns. At Inquiry Charter School, we believe that all students, teachers and community members are learners. We hold the values of curiosity, generosity and growth.

Points Of Pride

  2. A science curriculum with makerspace materials, thematic learning and Fairmount Park as an outdoor classroom.
  3. A safe and nurturing school environment using the Responsive Classroom framework and other best practices of social emotional learning.
  4. Outdoor play space, student gardens and fieldtrips for all students.
  5. A strong school community with weekly school wide meetings, theme days and joyful events throughout the year.
