What We Do:
The Quick Overview

Creative Learning Systems develops 21st century learning labs and media production systems for schools. Since creating the first technology lab in a U.S. school in 1987, the company’s SmartLab learning systems have set the standard for integrating applied technology in education. SmartLabs feature a project-based, student-centered approach that challenges and engages students of all abilities. In a SmartLab, students develop 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, project planning and communication. In cooperation with its partner schools across the country, Creative Learning Systems is helping prepare students to compete in a global economy.

It means that we provide a motivating Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning experience that develops critical 21st Century Skills.

It means that we use technology to reinforce core subject knowledge through hands-on, minds-on applied learning.

It means that we engage students with a project-based, student-centered system that builds enthusiasm for learning - and, at the same time, re-ignites the passion of teachers.

The Very Foundation of Learning

The Creative Learning Systems approach is grounded in modern brain-based research into how people learn.

The result?

Learning is relevant, challenging and engaging.

Students develop critical 21st century skills. They problem-solve and become critical thinkers. They collaborate and communicate. And they learn to integrate multiple disciplines as they explore, understand and resolve complex problems.

They build a solid foundation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills through applied, project-based learning in a technology-rich classroom.

As they build these skills, and their enthusiasm for learning grows, performance in other academic areas improves as well. Many of our educational partners report significant increases in standardized test scores, lower drop-out rates and fewer discipline problems among students in our programs.
