 The Discovery School for Inquiry and Research P.S. 201Q offers an array of enrichment clusters and resources, which affords students opportunities for self-selected, challenging, real-world learning experiences. Students at P.S. 201Q learn skills that will serve them throughout their lives. Students work cooperatively with our collaborative partnerships to develop authentic products that will enhance their investigations. After school and weekend outings are planned to extend student learning into the community.
Our Focus: Inquiry-Based Learning P.S. 201Q uses a project-based approach to learning. This approach encourages students to become independent thinkers who ask questions and actively search for answers. Students develop projects with the guidance of their teachers. Inquiry-based learning allows students to take responsibility for their learning by making informed decisions and using creativity.
