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.

2. Weekly class trips to Fairmount Park for science exploration.
3. A safe and nurturing classroom environment following the research- and evidence-based Responsive Classroom framework.
4. Outdoor play space and student gardens.
5. Full kitchen with healthy meals prepared on-site.
