Inquiry Learning

Inquiry Learning in Grade 9 emphasizes curiosity, exploration, and independent thinking. Instead of passively receiving information, students learn by asking questions, investigating problems, and developing their own solutions. This subject encourages learners to connect classroom knowledge with real-world situations, using research, collaboration, and reflection to deepen understanding. Inquiry Learning builds critical skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and evidence-based reasoning. It also allows students to pursue personal interests, making learning more meaningful and engaging. By framing lessons around questions instead of answers, learners practice resilience, adaptability, and self-direction. This method prepares students not only for academic success but also for lifelong learning, empowering them to approach challenges with confidence and curiosity.
