Part 3 - Line 4a
WE ARE A NOT FOR PROFIT SCHOOL INSTRUCTING PRE-KINDERGARTEN THROUGH SIXTH GRADE CHILDREN (154 STUDENTS IN CURRENT YEAR). OUR TEACHERS EDUCATE CHILDREN FOR LIFE, NOT FOR A TEST. LEARNING LARGER CONCEPTS RATHER THAN COLLECTIONS OF DISCONNECTED FACTS REQUIRES STUDENTS TO BECOME ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE WORLD - AND THAT IS WHEN LEARNING STICKS. THE IB TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH DOES NOT TEACH SUBJECT BY SUBJECT, INSTEAD THIS APPROACH TO LEARNING TEACHES FROM A CONCEPTUAL LENS. STUDENTS STUDY BROAD CONCEPTS THAT ARE HOUSED UNDER SIX TRANSDISCIPLINARY THEMES. THIS PROCESS PREPARES STUDENTS WITH FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS TO ANALYZE AND ENGAGE WITHIN A CHANGING WORLD.
