<p dir="ltr"><span><b>Holistic Teaching: </b></span><span>In holistic learning students find purpose and connection with the community, their social emotional well-being, humanitarian values, etc. Holistic education instills curiosity, and develops better communication and social skills. This approach encourages children to make connections in a subject, using their creative skills. It develops psychological, social, and emotional growth, and it makes learning natural and engaging. Students will find value in themselves and understand how they can contribute to a larger global society. Students will also learn how to cope with trauma and strategies to ensure they are emotionally ready to engage in personal and professional relationships.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><b>Project Based Learning: </b></span><span>In Project Based Learning students acquire knowledge through solving real-world problems and challenges. Teachers begin with a complex question and students take time to investigate and respond to the question. Students learn to work collaboratively and engage in deeper thinking in order to solve the problem or answer the question presented. This will be the foundation of teaching and learning at The Dayton School.</span></p> <span><b>Together: </b></span><span>Both styles of learning will prepare our students academically and socially for success beyond high school. Upon leaving, students will be prepared for college/university, immediate job placement, a technical field, or a trade.</span>

<div><b><img class="alignleft wp-image-131" src="https://daytonschoolohio.org/wp-content/uploads/Mentor3.jpg" alt="" width="472" height="315" />Project Based Learning:</b> Project based learning is offered in all classrooms within the Dayton School. When children experience learning they are more likely to retain the knowledge learned during the learning experience. For that reason, and many others, students who attend TDS will engage in meaningful class projects that are challenging, require teamwork, and have real world applications.</div>   <div><b>After School Clubs for students:</b> The Dayton School recognizes that many of the students served may not have anywhere to go, but home after school. Instead of ending learning at the end of the school day, TDS offers after school clubs that will allow students to socialize with peers and learn more about things they are interested in. The following clubs will be offered to students who attend TDS. PLease note that these clubs may change depending on student, parent, and community input. More information about each club's offerings coming soon.</div>   <ul> <li>My Brothers Keeper Mentoring</li> <li style="list-style-type: none;"></li> <li>Coding</li> <li>Gardening</li> <li>Art</li> <li>Piano (advanced and beginners)</li> <li>Future chefs</li> </ul> <div></div> <div><b><img class="alignright wp-image-135" src="https://daytonschoolohio.org/wp-content/uploads/gardening.jpg" alt="" width="524" height="349" />Free Adult Information Sessions</b>: TDS believes that children thrive when families thrive and because of these beliefs, TDS will offer information courses for free on weekends and some evenings to parents and community members.
