Inquiry in Practice

A year-long, relationship-driven consultancy for schools ready to embrace inquiry-based, student-led learning. Through immersive visits, regular mentorship, and hands-on collaboration, we support educators to move from delivering content to designing rich, question-driven experiences.

Why Choose Harmony Alternative?

We don’t just talk about inquiry—we live it. With deep experience in international, holistic, and alternative education, we meet schools where they are and grow together. Our work is rooted in trust, co-creation, and a belief that real learning begins with a question.

Program Structure

Termly In-School Visits

A deep-dive start to each term with in-person visits. Co-plan with teachers, model lessons, observe practice, and work with leadership to embed inquiry across the school culture.

Ongoing Online Mentorship

Monthly online check-ins (or as needed), offering tailored support for teachers:

co-planning units, refining practice, or navigating challenges.

Custom Professional Development

Inquiry-focused workshops designed around your school’s needs:

“Designing Learning Through Questions” or “Assessment Without Grades.”

Inquiry Coaching Model

Practical, in-the-moment coaching for individual teachers or teams.

No generic PD—this is embedded, ongoing support where it matters most.

Support for Cultural Shift

We partner with schools who want to move away from top-down instruction and toward student agency. Ideal for teams exploring progressive, place, or project-based education.

Flexible & Values-Aligned

We meet schools where they are. Whether you’re just starting the shift or already experimenting with inquiry, we build on your strengths and co-create meaningful next steps.

Who is this for?

Schools seeking to shift toward learner-centered, inquiry-rich practice.
Educators ready to explore project-based learning, transdisciplinary units, or place-based learning.
Leadership teams seeking whole-school cultural change around autonomy and curiosity.
