Employer projects are a cornerstone of The Studio School curriculum. Our students have the unique opportunity to apply the theory they learn to ‘real’ projects designed and delivered by our employer partners.

Why Do PBL?

We use project-based learning to teach our students to solve real-world tasks. We start with real problems set by our partners, giving students the opportunity to work in groups to investigate, respond to, and consider new solutions to these challenges.

We believe that using this approach helps students build the skills necessary to be leaders in the creative and digital world of work. They learn to work collaboratively and apply methodologies used by some of the most innovative companies in the world to solve complex challenges. It encourages students to work independently from teachers; to make mistakes and use these as learning opportunities on the way to solutions.

PBL gives our students a ‘safe’ environment to take risks and experiment, as they’ll need to at work. And, most importantly, project-based learning allows students to take ownership of challenges; to think independently and make their own decisions, which helps build resilience.
