"There is only one subject - life." - Alfred North Whitehead We believe that education should be alive; that true learning comes about when students have the support and the opportunity to put their learning to the test by getting out into the world - by trying things out. Our curriculum offers students the opportunity to do just that. Integrated Studies We bring classes together so that students have an opportunity to look at things from a variety of perspectives. 3 mornings a week are spent focused on these integrated courses, in some cases the students decide which courses to focus on for a semester. Many of these integrated courses are requirements for the completion of the OSSD. Group Work In our fast-paced society it is crucial that students learn to work together, we bring together ideas, practices, and principles of successful group interaction to assist groups to work together well. Individual Work The ability to focus, to bring your own ideas and abilities out into the world on your own is also an important learning skill. Students have opportunities to work on their own. To be proud of what they can accomplish, and to....... Experience We create, and encourage students to take their learning outside the classroom. Students find opportunities to volunteer, find mentors, and do projects linking their studies to the world around us. This assists them to make sense of what they are learning, to make long-term life decisions, and to recognize what skills and personal abilities they wish to strengthen. |
