The City School
Approach to learning
Nothing
without
joy
ELC provides children access to a rigorous curriculum designed to meet curricular learning goals, while at the same time understanding that each student has a wealth of knowledge, and experience that shape who they are, and their individual learning style. We celebrate the uniqueness of each, and every child.
Learning at ELC is approached through Inquiry, and this approach permeates all learning at our family of schools. Project, as it is known at ELC, is a process by which teachers and students alike, co-construct learning. For the teachers, it is a process of listening to the children, reflecting on their ideas while considering the curricular objectives, deciding how to best provide learning experiences that integrate the student’s ideas with curricular objectives in a rich manner, observing the children again, and making new teaching decisions, all in collaboration with our highly-qualified teaching team. And, for students, it is a process of discussing, listening, doing, questioning, problem solving, reflecting on their learning, offering ideas, hypothesizing, testing hypotheses, formulating theories, all in collaboration with each other, their teachers, and the project teaching team. Learning through ‘Project’ helps children to understand not only the what, but the why and how as well, as they make sense of the world around them.
Nothing without joy!
