  • Inquiry Approach

    Inquiry is the process of wondering about the world, posing, questions, gathering information, representing understanding, solving problems, and taking action. It places student questions, ideas, and observations at the center of teaching and learning. This approach is based on values that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and builds classrooms and school communities where kindness, respectful relationships, and collaboration are the norm. Inquiry forms the heart of teaching and learning at UCLA Lab School.
