curriculum
preparing students for the future
The Lupine curriculum is built upon our essential pillars of quality teaching and learning.
children learn by doing
At Lupine Experiential students are actively engaged in the curriculum. You do not see textbooks, nor are children simply reading to learn. Our students are discussing, debating, hypothesizing, experimenting, creating, and modeling.
child-centered and developmentally appropriate
Learning takes place in a meaningful context and is derived from children’s needs and interests. By honoring what is important and necessary for the child, students are internally motivated to participate in their learning.
building from a foundation
Activities draw on and connect to what students already know, to extend their existing base of knowledge, recognizing the importance of what Lev Vygotsky deemed “the zone of proximal development.”
teaching for understanding, rather than memorization
When understanding is valued and achieved, students can carry their knowledge with them out into the world and apply it to new contexts.
EMPHASIZING the process of learning
When process is valued, students are empowered to take risks and make mistakes. As Mark Twain stated, “Necessity is the mother of taking chances.”
the curriculum is integrated
Lupine School faculty blend disciplines to deepen understanding, expose differing viewpoints and to show the real-world application of knowledge. Teaching is extended through literature, music, art, science and mathematics.
inquiry is at the heart of the curriculum
Student inquiry is the foundation of our project-based approach.
