Center for Inquiry - Alumni

The Center for Inquiry is a Richland Two magnet school for kindergartners through fifth graders.

As a Professional Development School, it unites our district with the University of South Carolina to create a unique learning environment in a small school setting.

The Center for Inquiry's teachers remain with the same group of students for two years, to minimize time lost in transitions between grades and to build strong learning communities.

A key feature is the school's focus on "inquiry based" instruction. The classes emphasize hands-on learning experiences, high-interest studies, and integrated curriculum. The approach is innovative and students are held to high standards.
