Experiential Learning

St. Richard's places a strong emphasis on experiential learning.  Bringing learning to life through community partnerships is an essential part of the learning experience.

 

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, the world’s largest children’s museum, is within walking distance of campus. SRES is a Museum Partner School, which affords students unlimited and private access to behind the scenes museum activities.

Crown Hill Cemetery, the second largest cemetery in the country, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art are just a short bus ride away. Conner Prairie, living history museum, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are each an easy commute along with the Indianapolis Zoo. State and city-government headquarters are three miles from campus.

The Indianapolis Public Library is even closer. SRES is part of the Indianapolis Public Library Shared System, giving students, faculty, and parents access to the entire system’s collection. The library also hosts exhibits of SRES student artwork.

These partnerships allow us to create short, tailored visits that enhance classroom instruction, and the students connect with our community.
