Following the industrial age, we are in "the age of information" now, according to many scientists, in fact, it is the age of uncertainty. But one thing is "certain"; there is too much information to learn. As a result, there is a fundamental question that faces us today, as educators and as communities: What do children need to be learning today? and How do they need to be learning it? "Learning school" can be an answer to these questions. Schools as learning organizations may be the right choice to be able to live in "questions age". 20th century schools do not seem to be appropriate for the answers of 21st century questions. Schools must have new characteristics to keep on its existence. In this paper, the characteristics of a learning school will be examined and listed. Qualitative research method will be used to determine the characteristics of a learning school. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
