The hands on learning has made the educational process fun EVERY day. The teachers are work to teach the children that to think, identify their opinions and share them.
I've never seen a team of teachers so involved in the student's success. They do an amazing job of getting kids to work with their strengths. The school is also connected to the community in many ways. Interviewing citizens for a wisdom project and choosing citizens from every demographic of Raleigh; volunteering with the Natural Science Museum, walking to the capitol and listening to our lawmakers. In so many ways they are learning to become responsible, connected citizens as well as great writers and thinkers.

Particularly noteworthy about this school is the way it fosters independence in the students. They seem to acquire at a relatively early age 'ownership' of their own education; it appears that they are taught to manage their assignments, study, and homework. Also, they develop a thorough Global Awareness which I think is very important in today's world; it is heartening to see a group of young people not taking their blessings for granted, and being encouraged to develop their compassion for, and desire to understand, other people, other nations and other species!

Exploris is a really good school. I am currently in the 8th grade and I have been there since 6th grade. The curriculum is different but you learn the same things as regular schools. At Exploris you do hands on things to help you learn better. I think it is the best school out there. Everyone is nice especially the teachers. We do not have the problem with bullying like other middle schools. Exploris is top of the line.
