Mystic River Magnet School  Opening September 2021

Theme: Active Exploration - Play and Ingenuity

The power of play motivates students to connect with, actively explore, and joyfully engage with their surrounding world.

- Steve Wheeler, Principal of Mystic River Magnet School

Our Play and Ingenuity Magnet School will find new ways to engage our students meaningfully in interest based learning with a focus on Active Exploration. Students will benefit from making social emotional connections in creative, hands on learning environments while working collaboratively and thinking critically with their peers. 

• Grades K-2 - Active Exploration features developmentally appropriate play based learning that provides active exploration of topics. While building and strengthening brain pathways, children will create meaning through play and problem solving across disciplines.

• Grades 3-5 - Active Exploration features games that promote mental and physical play and learning with a problem-solving framework to understand information across content areas. Collaboration between students and teachers will support solving complex problems across disciplines.
