Blended Classrooms

Students are encouraged to find their best learning space within this varied classroom. Traditional settings are replaced with options for individuals and small and large group gatherings.

01 Multiple zones provide spaces for students to choose to work based on their task, mood or personal preferences.

02 Abundant storage makes it easy to display work and access shared tools. Easily movable furniture allows students to divide large and medium settings into smaller workgroup areas.

03 In this classroom, students experience many home-like elements: a dining room table, living room area and cozy corner. Materiality and soft lighting support the home-like atmosphere and create a colourful, energetic space.

04 Students can choose from work areas near and far from the teacher. Storage can also be used to create trust zones, areas for students to work while shielded from the teacher’s direct view.

Transformable Classrooms

This classroom space supports several small groups working simultaneously. The space can evolve as students gain trust to work in a more self-directed manner.

01 Students can choose their place based on the task at hand and their individual preferences - working alone or in groups. Conferencing, either student-to-student or student-to-teacher, can happen nearly anywhere.

02 Students can reconfigure this classroom to meet changing needs over the course of a day, week or even the school year. Movable tables and chairs encourage students to build, deconstruct and arrange as needed.

03 Instead of a traditional desk, the teacher in this space can move to wherever students need them. A stool-height chair gives visibility to the entire classroom when needed.

04 Vertical planes are used to share information, provide storage for whiteboards, display student work and make classroom principles visible to everyone.

Creative Classrooms

Students are encouraged to practice creativity in these versatile classrooms. Rich technology and analog resources make it easy to display thinking.

Individual work, small groups and large, all-classroom gatherings are possible in these rooms. A choice of seating encourages movement throughout the day. Whiteboards can be used by students and teachers to display their in-progress learning

02 Chairs and tables are on casters for students to reconfigure, and lightweight lounge seating can be regrouped as needs evolve.

03 Teachers can have their own individual workspace and join students anywhere for conferencing, mentoring, 1:1 instruction and community-building.
