HIGHSCOPE QUALITY ASSURANCE

What Is HighScope?

HighScope is a way of working with children based on the idea that children learn best from active learning experiences which they plan and carry out themselves. In this way children learn that they are capable, able to make decisions and solve problems about activities which are personally meaningful to them.

Where Did it Begin?

HighScope began over 40 years ago in an area of Michigan, USA, called Ypsilanti which the HighScope Educational Research Foundation is based. Research shows that young children who used the HighScope approach in the early year’s school in Ypsilanti, developed, as they grew older, very positive attitudes to education, work, personal relationships and society.
