The Don Tyson School of Innovation in Springdale is the state’s first high school designed for self-paced and collaborative learning. Within the 146,000 square feet are Innovation Zones: large, open rooms with flexible space that allow for different methods of teaching and learning. Design flexibility was of utmost importance to the school, where the learning process is based on real-life input and real-time developments from subject to subject and team to team. Small and large groups may collaborate merely by arranging furniture and dividers.
