At Canyon Creek, students receive a rigorous education that focuses on standards-based instruction with an emphasis on Project-Based Learning. Project-Based learning (PBL) is a practice that takes a learning-by-doing approach wherein students are active participants in their own educational development. In a PBL classroom, you often find students solving problems, participating in simulations, conducting case studies and designing research projects based on different areas of inquiry. Students learn the content through a project instead of completing a project after learning the material.

The staff at Canyon Creek is focused on Making the Classrooms at Canyon Creek as Dynamic as the World Around Us.
