Fuel Your Child's Curiosity at CCID
Make it REAL, make it RELEVANT, and make it RIGOROUS. This philosophy manifests itself through the purposeful use of project-based, placed-based, discovery, and inquiry-based pedagogy.
Learning That Connects Everything
Weaving together our core values and the Utah Core Standards, with a focus on Integrative STEM education, gives students amazing opportunities to make sense of the world holistically, rather than by bits and pieces.
The kids never ask, "why do we need to learn this?" Because they experience why it matters.
