Inquiry-Based Education in Action

Ross Valley Charter is inquiry-based, multi-age education in action. Students are empowered to explore their interests, follow leads, and work together to solve problems and answer questions. Inquiry-based learning helps students accumulate knowledge as they progress from grade to grade. Inquiry in education is about a greater understanding of the world in which children live, learn, communicate, and work.

Bravo!!! The Stapleton Ballet Nutcracker was such a treat - Director Luke plus a handful of other RVC kiddos in the production this morning! What a great way to end a very full week and a wonderful way to kick off the holidays. Thank you @stapletonballet for having us💗

The 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms have been investigating the history of Fairfax!! They focused on the development of the town over the past 150 years. Many fascinating stories about Fairfax were discovered and shared with peers and parents. For instance, Fairfax has always been a place for picnics and parties. People started taking the train to Fairfax in the late 1800s to escape the cold and fog in San Francisco and have been coming to sunny Fairfax ever since! Great job Ms. Emily and Ms. Jane’s classes!

Prepping for...the Gratitude Feast! It’s an annual school-wide celebration that is oh-so joyous 🍁🧡. We were supposed to have it prior to the Thanksgiving break, but with power outages and fire season we were forced to postpone it. Our community pulled together and helped to prepare a wonderful feast for our children… More pics to follow. 🙏🏽

Hoping you and yours had a weekend filled with gratitude 🙏🏽. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow and we are especially excited for our K/1 production of Scrooge this week! Also, our school-wide Gratitude Feast this Thursday 12/5 - a lovely tradition where we gather in thanks for our amazing community.

We were so lucky to welcome a few Stapleton Nutcracker performers to our K/1 classes last week - they performed an interactive Nutcracker presentation. The kids loved it! We are going to see the show as a school next week, and they came to hopefully inspire the littles before they see the show. What a treat! Thank you @stapletonballet !
