TICE CREEK SCHOOL VISION AND ORGANIZATION
The 2025-26 School Year is a milestone for Tice Creek School as it is our 10th year of existence. As our school district’s only opt-in school that has a focus on Project Based Learning in a TK-8 school. The school is open to families who reside within the attendance boundaries of the Walnut Creek School District. Students are challenged to work on real world problems with real world outcomes. The process requires students to utilize the six C’s of 21stCentury learning: Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Citizenship, Character and Communication. As students research a driving question, classes often enlist the support of an industry expert to guide students and offer feedback on attempted projects. Each PBL unit ends with a product or outcome which often is presented to an authentic audience. Throughout this process, students are encouraged to engage in the cycle of inquiry; asking questions, seeking answers, and developing new questions along the way.
