Inventor
About
Inventor is an elementary school in Bedford built around the idea of reinventing early education. Its model is STEM-focused and arts-integrated, pairing inquiry-based, hands-on learning with comprehensive instruction in foundational literacies, including mathematics and language arts. Each student is treated as an individual learner with unique gifts, and teachers set relevant, achievable goals and give ongoing feedback while balancing autonomy with support and encouragement.
Students are introduced to novel ideas, encouraged to think critically and make independent decisions, and given room for creativity through open-ended inquiry. The school also puts weight on social skills, teaching children to communicate effectively and to give and receive feedback, and it builds in time for structured reflection and practice. Math instruction uses Singapore Math, known for its concrete-pictorial-abstract approach and its emphasis on number sense and mental math.
