|  | Ensworth's curricular programs seek to involve each student
as an active participant in his or her own learning and to inspire
students to be life-long learners. In the elementary grades learning
experiences grow from each child's natural curiosity with multi-faceted
opportunities for exploration. Collecting pennies for a Pre-First
community service project can lead to an understanding of counting by
ten, or to an appreciation for the national monument pictured on the
coin, or to an understanding of how the money helps to build a house
for someone who needs a home, and to how a bank works when the pennies
are deposited in return for a check.
Building on a solid foundation of skills and excitement for learning,
the middle school program enhances a student's abilities to analyze, to
ask questions, to find the relationships among different subject areas
and to work together in groups toward a common goal.
The High School curriculum teaches students skills that will not only
facilitate their mastery of every discipline, but will also equip them
to thrive in the rapidly changing world of the 21st century. These
skills cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and include such
talents as the ability to collaborate, communicate, question, speculate
and hypothesize, evaluate, and apply knowledge to new situations. |
