Project Based Learning
Students at Journey K8 actively engage with PBL projects which provide real-world
relevance for learning. Students solve problems that are important
to them and their communities. PBL projects lead to deeper understanding and greater retention of
content knowledge. Our students are better able to apply what they know to
new situations.
