About Us
Curiosity Lab is a child enrichment program where children
are treated as the scientists of tomorrow. They experiment. They interact. They explore. Their curiosity is sparked, nurtured and fueled.
Children are guided by teachers who share their scientific curiosity and believe in the power of education, as they explore the world they inhabit through exciting experiments and ingenious demonstrations.
Science is taught with all its wonder intact.

Our Philosophy
Children are born with an innate curiosity about the world they inhabit. Questions like, "why is the sky blue?" and "where do babies come from?" may get on your nerves at times, but to continuously ask those questions is what makes great scientists.
However, something unfortunate happens to a child's wonderful curiosity as they grow up. We start with children who aspire to be scientists and finish with teenagers who are disillusioned with science.
We believe that the problem lies with formal education, where science is taught through "say so" and scarcely leaves the domain of textbooks. We don't let children experiment, interact or experience science enough. We get them to focus on getting high test scores, while we neglect and forget their curiosity.
At Curiosity Lab, we don't bore our students with dry theory. We constantly look for ways to make the science come alive. We believe that this is the only way for them to gain a clear understanding of, and an appreciation for what makes the world around them tick.

THE MODULES
This is the heart and soul of what Curiosity Lab has to offer.
The Modules are a structured program consisting of weekly classes, taught in a small group setting. They give context to learning, by tying important scientific concepts together into an exciting overarching story, told through hands-on science.
(We have 20+ established Modules that we run throughout the academic year and are adding new ones all the time. Click here to find out what they are.)
Students sign up for the term, typically 10 to 12 classes, and attend one class a week. Our terms run in line with the school academic term. (One-off class options are also available)
The Modules are designed for ages 4 and up, but are divided into 3 levels which are suitable for specific age ranges. All levels follow our constructivist approach but focus on different aspects of the Scientific Method.
-
To ignite and nurture innate curiosity and become lifelong learners. For ages 4 and 5.
These lessons turn passive spectators of the world into active questioners by exposing them to phenomena that awaken a sense of wonder.
Through free-form activities and experiments, students are encouraged to question the world they inhabit relentlessly, a quality shared by all great scientists.
-
To freely explore phenomena and discover the laws of nature. For ages 6 to 8.
These lessons build on innate curiosity and allow students to follow it wherever it leads with continuous and informal experimentation.
By developing inductive reasoning, where observations are examined for patterns that can inform a general theory, students discover the laws of nature.
-
To analyze information, with logic and tests, and discern “truth". For ages 9 and above.
These lessons present claims of unknown validity which are tested with experiments devised and carried out by the students.
By developing deductive reasoning, where a general principle is used to make predictions backed up by empirical evidence, scientific thinking will become second nature.
