Praxis Program
PRAXIS Philosophy
Aimed at Grade 9 and 10 students, PRAXIS 2030 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. Â
Featuring a smaller learning community and flexible timetable, PRAXIS 2030 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, and elective courses continue to be taught in the regular classroom setting.
This is what Amy Kocher, Head of Department, has to say about PRAXIS 2030
