The Personalize Learning Webinar Series presented The Inquiry Hub with David Truss and five amazing learners. The Inquiry Hub provides 9th through 12th grade learners an innovative, technology driven, full-time program that allows learners to pursue their own learning by shaping their educational experience around their interests and questions instead of structured classes.

In Sept 2012 The Inquiry Hub was launched as a grade 9-12 school in Coquitlam, British Columbia. It started with a presentation to the board of trustees by Principal Stephen Whiffin, David Truss, and Superintendent Tom Grant.
