Intentional Innovation

COUNTRY DAY HAS A LONG HISTORY OF DELIVERING INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.

Some are very well-known: our founding as the first independent school in Charlotte, our implementation of gender-specific math classes in Middle School, and our college-level science offerings like organic chemistry. What you may not realize is that Country Day teachers across every discipline and at every grade level are constantly introducing new ideas and teaching methods that don’t necessarily make headlines, but that collectively, make a huge impact on the student experience.

In numerous small, intentional ways, Country Day teachers are at the forefront in delivering an educational experience for our students that fully prepares them for the future. In the pages ahead, teachers share the ways they bring innovation into the classroom to create a learning environment for our students that can’t be recreated anywhere else.

Tim Moxley, Lower School educational technologist, works closely with classroom and special area teachers on ways to deepen lesson plans through student work in the Makerspace.
