At SLCS, we believe that schools should contribute to a better and more peaceful world by educating young people to value high achievement, lifelong and active learning, diversity and equity, collaborative problem solving, and international mindedness. Internationally minded people recognize the common humanity of all peoples and their shared guardianship of the planet. In keeping with our philosophy, classroom conversations consider the international context of an event, issue or problem being studied, as well as the social and cultural aspects. We live our values as we teach students to develop a caring attitude toward other people, an open mind about other cultures, and respect for opinions that differ from their own.Our teachers are responsible for planning, instruction, activities and assessments based on the SLCS curriculum. Teachers are tasked with creating an integrated instructional program that supports an inclusion-based learning approach fostering a safe environment that respects academic and cultural diversity.
