Why is the sky blue? How do airplanes fly? What happens if I mix these two things together? These are the kinds of questions we hear every day in a curious classroom. At Hanover Academy, we welcome them.
Encouraging Curiosity in the Classroom
Curiosity is the starting point of deep learning. When children feel safe to wonder, they engage more deeply with the material and develop habits of inquiry that last a lifetime. Our teachers encourage students to explore ideas, generate questions, and pursue answers through projects and investigations.
Whether it is a hands-on science experiment, a discussion about a current event, or a student-driven research topic, we build learning environments where questions are valued. Rather than focusing only on correct answers, we focus on the thinking process behind them.
Learning to Think, Not Recite
Instead of memorizing information, students at Hanover Academy learn how to evaluate, compare, and investigate. They test theories, revise ideas, and communicate their thinking with others. This process fosters confidence, independence, and enthusiasm for learning.
When students learn how to learn, they become more than students—they become thinkers. And thinkers keep asking, keep growing, and keep engaging long after the school day ends.
Nurturing Lifelong Learners
Inquiry builds momentum. One good question leads to another. By prioritizing curiosity, Hanover Academy helps students build a foundation of thinking that stretches across subjects and years.
