Chase Collegiate Signature Programs
Each Signature Program offered at Chase Collegiate is designed to give students a unique learning experience that extends beyond the classroom and throughout their professional career. Chase believes that learning should push students’ intellectual horizons and provide unique opportunities that help them reach their full potential.
Design Thinking Approach
At Chase, teachers guide students in the practice of design thinking; they learn to assess and adjust as they discover the world around them and their role within it. The practice of design thinking can often create a heightened level of engagement as well as excitement about learning. Integrating this problem solving technique into the Chase curriculum provides students with the skills to succeed in a world that requires creativity and an ability to adapt and change.
Wonder
Wonder about perspective, impacts, approaches, outcomes and benefits.
Explore
Dig below the surface to fully comprehend the task. Look at the “whats” and “whys.” Then brainstorm, think outside the box and consider all possible solutions.
Create
Do! Build the prototype, create the model and devise the approach to solve the problem. Be bold and confident in the creative process.
Persist
Failure is inevitable. Stay resilient, determined and resolute. This builds confidence for future tasks.
Deliver
Test the prototype, and deliver the outcome.
Public Speaking Programs
Public speaking is one cornerstone of a Chase education. In both formal and informal settings, students of all ages have the opportunity to share ideas, hold the attention of an audience and lead a discussion. The goal is to provide a challenging, yet safe environment where students challenge themselves and respond appropriately in each environment. Students and alumni alike consider the integration of public speaking in the Chase curriculum to be one of the most empowering components of their Chase education.
