PRAXIS Philosophy

Aimed at Grade 9 students, PRAXIS fosters an interdisciplinary approach to learning, reimagining the school experience at ISKL. The basis of this program is anchored in complex and real-world challenges with students stepping into a future-ready learning environment. They should expect to be empowered in their creative exploration and effective collaboration by utilizing problem-solving skills. Featuring a smaller learning community and flexible timetable, PRAXIS focuses on problem-based learning and situates the current science, English, social studies, and art & design curriculum around a series of complex, compelling problems that demand an interdisciplinary approach. Mathematics, world language, physical education, and elective courses continue to be taught in the traditional classroom setting.

This is what ISKL’s High School Principal Jeff Farrington, has to say about PRAXIS

All students should have the opportunity to learn in this manner. This is a profound modification to how we know school and a necessary shift for educational organizations that value future readiness.

Approach to Learning

PRAXIS ensures that students are:

As an interdisciplinary program, the concepts and skills students learn across the four integrated subject areas (science, English, social studies, and art & design) are tightly linked to deepen learning and skill development.

During the year, students participate in three teacher-guided project modules called BluePrints. Each BluePrint focuses on a real-world challenge and takes between six to eight weeks to complete.

Students work in teams to investigate the Driving Questions around their assigned BluePrint across the four integrated subject areas (English, science, social studies, and art & design). The composition of teams changes with each BluePrint to foster a diversity of perspectives, promote adaptability, and build skills in collaboration and communication.

Examples of the Driving Questions students explore:

Designing to drawdown. How do we design for a circular economy?

Can truth be saved?

How do we design for more sustainable communities?
