Lower School Dream Lab Comes to Life
As part of Hockaday’s ongoing Innovation & Collaboration efforts, Lower School students have enjoyed visiting the Dream Lab, a repurposed area of the library.
The Dream Lab provides students with opportunities to develop skills, including complex problem-solving and collaboration, in a non-traditional space that functions as a classroom. In this space, students advocate for themselves and partner with one another to develop solutions for challenges posed by their teachers and the Dream Coordinator. The challenges are designed by the Dream Coordinator and Lower School faculty and integrate with the existing Lower School curriculum.

Within the private school community, The Hockaday School is an independent college-preparatory day school for girls from grades PK–12 located in Dallas, Texas. Students realize their limitless potential through challenging academic curricula, arts, athletics, and extracurricular programs so that they are inspired to lead lives of purpose and impact.
