Maker Mindset
It's the Process That Counts
It all starts with a question. How can you connect two things? How can you make something taller? We set out materials and facilitate with questions to allow your child to tinker and try, discover and try again. Innovation is born of play, passion and purpose — children learn best by doing.
Severn provides a great learning environment and has consistently encouraged our son's curiosity. He brings that curiosity home and we see him using new problem-solving skills every day.

The Freedom to Explore
Our Early School classes spend time each week on activities that foster independent thinking and innovation. We focus on process, not product during dedicated maker time and the results are pretty amazing. In this time of free-but-guided exploration, our students take the reins. They create stories, games and connections that we might not have the opportunity to see in more teacher-directed lessons.
