Given our understanding of the ways early adolescents learn best, our hands-on/heads-on methodologies in the various subject areas include (but are not limited to) the following: simulations, lab experiments, visits from experts, projects, field trips, research (printed material, human resources, and electronic material), direct instruction, video/film, demonstration/modeling, writing and reading workshops, voice recordings, peer conferences and peer instruction, student-teacher conferences, role playing, whole and small group discussion, manipulatives, inquiry-based activities, integration with other subjects, computer software and related technologies, storytelling, and improvisation.

Field trips using the cultural and environmental resources of Northeastern Ohio regularly enhance classroom experiences.  Past and planned field trips include visits to the following: the Allen Art Museum, the Cleveland Natural History Museum, Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, Cleveland Health Education Museum, Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, Elyria Foundry, area universities, Lake Erie Museum of Science, Inventure Place, the Stocker Center for Performing Arts, and the Lake Erie shores.
