When you are in your teenage years are consciously experiencing everything for the first time, so adolescent stories are all beginnings. There are never any endings.
Teenage years are a key phase in children’s education, along with the physical changes teenagers experience, their brains develop rapidly. The inquiry approach used in Elementary School at Lomas Hill continues in Middle School. Investigative tasks are a key part of the curriculum, as they help learners develop self-confidence and collaborative skills, and appreciate different perspectives.
At Lomas Hill our students develop cultural awareness and sensitivity through learning experiences which embrace global points of view. The curriculum is developed around six global contexts that foster an international mindset and global engagement, in particular:
Our learners follow a curriculum that includes English, Spanish, French, mathematics, science, design, civics, financial fundamentals, geography, history, art, physical education, social and emotional learning, and study and organizational skills. This comprehensive and balanced curriculum focuses on big ideas, developing conceptual understanding and enabling students to link their learning through interdisciplinary projects and encouraging them to explore and develop their areas of interest. We encourage them to become what they aspire to be in the best possible way.
"Service learning" is a key component of children’s education at Lomas Hill. All Middle
School students are involved in community service initiatives. In 9th grade, students complete
a community project either individually or in collaboration with a small group of peers.
The skills that students develop throughout Middle School allow them to take ownership of
this project and investigate an area of need within the community, plan their project,
take action, and reflect on the impact their project has on the community.
