Curriulum
At LAMIS, we encourage all our students to develop through learning and an inquiry-based process, attributes and traits that will enable them to become lifelong learners.
We believe that curriculum is, in its broadest sense, each and every learning opportunity that a child experiences in a day, both planned and incidental.
This belief is influenced by:
- Recent developments in brain research, supporting the benefits of early stimulation and the significance of supported play as a medium for learning
- Socio-cultural theories outlining the importance of learning with and from others, both peers and adults, as well as attributing significance to the context in which learning occurs
- The development of the whole child and the associated significance of integrated learning, ie. that children are social, physical and cognitive beings who learn in holistic ways – not through segmented subject knowledge, but rather a trans-disciplinary approach to learning, spanning the subject areas.
- A world-wide concern as to the loss of childhood as valued and essential time in our human development.
