After winter break ends, the students at Emmaus Lutheran School come back excited to learn.That’s because Emmaus embarks upon a two-week project based learning unit (PBL), where all grades, K-8th, work on a thematic project the last two hours of the school day.Project based learning’s goal is to actively engage students in a hands-on study by promoting creative thinking and problem solving. Students gain knowledge and enhance their skills by finding new ways to respond to in-depth questions, chosen by each teacher.
