The Big Things of Learning at Our Christian School

I’m delighted to have students come to my office who want me to come back with them to their classrooms to share what they’ve been doing. I’ve been invited to sample green eggs and ham, see bridge models, watch butterflies emerging, taste homemade bread, or been asked to be an object to measure with a metre stick. Exciting moment of learning happen every day!

How do we shape learning at LCES? Consider the following four pillars:

Connectedness We aim for our students to see God’s creation as an intricate, complex, and amazing example of how purposeful God is. God’s world is something to be studied as a whole, as well as in parts. 

Discernment We want our students to develop tools and have opportunities to practice, under the watchful idea of a passionate educator, figuring out what is God’s truth and what is means for them. God’s world is designed around God’s truth.

Service We strive to have our students live out the truth of biblically knowing as the study the Lord’s handiwork directs them to love their neighbor in every way, in everything they do and say. Community is God’s good gift to us.

Wonder God’s world is a thing of beauty and we wish for our students to meet God in new ways as they learn. God’s world speaks of his greatness.

Big things guide our learning!
