LEARNING THAT'S MORE THAN TEST DEEP

Our students probe deeper than “Who?” “What?” and “Where?” to ask “How?” and “Why?” Far more than short-term recall, a Congressional education builds long-term understanding applicable to a complex world.

Home » Learning That’s More Than Test Deep

The shape of education has changed. As our world has become multidimensional, so has learning. Instead of teaching to tests, we teach for the long term by encouraging students to dig deep and apply what they learn. Knowing becomes more than recalling. It becomes understanding.

3rd Grade Scientists

Third graders put their scientific skills to use by testing various mystery substances to discover what they were. They mixed the substances with liquids like water and vinegar to observe their reactions and recorded their findings.

Junior Kindergarten Artists

Inspiration can be found all over our beautiful campus and students in Junior Kindergarten used that inspiration to paint fall landscape art. This tied nicely into their study of fall and all the colorful changes the season brings.

Musical Performances

There are many opportunities for students to perform at Congressional, and some of the most significant opportunities are the winter and spring concerts. In the weeks leading up to the concerts, they practice during music class, and on the week of the concert, they perform at rehearsals, ensuring everything comes together just perfectly for the big day.

Playing the Periodic Table

Students in 7th grade created board and card games based on the periodic table and atomic structure. The students enjoyed the process of creating the games and had even more fun testing them out. 

Science 7th grade
In 8th grade financial literacy class, students were challenged with creating a new product and presenting it to our own "Shark Tank" panel of judges. The students had to impress our sharks and answer challenging questions. After all, the students wanted the sharks to invest in their company - and of course - get a good grade!
