EXCELENCIA EDUCATIVA Y FORMACIÓN EN LA FE

El programa de primaria de LM enfatiza las habilidades académicas y sociales fundamentales dentro de un marco de justicia restaurativa que nutre al niño en su totalidad y lo ayuda a desarrollar una comunidad sólida con maestros y compañeros de clase. Las experiencias de aprendizaje práctico brindan a los estudiantes la oportunidad de aplicar su aprendizaje, desarrollar conocimientos y desarrollar el pensamiento crítico. 

Lancaster Mennonite is committed to a student-centered, holistic education that helps students thrive academically at all levels of learning. LM’s core values and faith practices are evident through our hands-on, values-driven approach to learning in all subject areas, which builds a solid foundation for social and cognitive development.

Teachers authentically integrate faith into all subjects. All grades use Encounter, an Anabaptist faith formation curriculum that emphasizes a commitment to following the life and teachings of Jesus. Students participate in daily devotions and attend chapel weekly.

PASSIONATE, CARING TEACHERS
Our dedicated teachers equip students to grow, and also to make a positive impact on the world. Teachers are certified and have a bachelors or masters degree.

The student-teacher relationship is at the heart of our programming since their interactions and development of meaningful relationships helps to foster an educational climate that puts students at the center of all that we do.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

El currículo básico de la escuela primaria incluye Biblia, Artes del Lenguaje, Matemáticas, Ciencias y Estudios Sociales. Nuestros modelos de instrucción incluyen la enseñanza de toda la clase, grupos pequeños e individuales para que los estudiantes puedan alcanzar el éxito. 

El programa de Artes del Lenguaje en Inglés busca formar lectores competentes y seguros de sí mismos que puedan decodificar con precisión y fluidez, mientras comprenden lo que leen. Los estudiantes también aprenden a verse a sí mismos como escritores capaces y hábiles que pueden expresar ideas en formatos narrativos, informativos y de opinión. El currículo de ELA se centra en la instrucción del Aula Colaborativa.

El programa de matemáticas trabaja para desarrollar la comprensión conceptual y las habilidades de resolución de problemas en aritmética, datos, probabilidad, geometría, álgebra y funciones. Los estudiantes no solo practican habilidades matemáticas, sino que encuentran formas innovadoras de aplicar esta información para resolver problemas reales. El plan de estudios de Matemáticas es de Everyday Math.

Los estudiantes de primaria se involucran con conceptos de ciencias y estudios sociales que se conectan con su aprendizaje en matemáticas y artes del lenguaje, al tiempo que brindan la oportunidad de usar el pensamiento de diseño y el Makerspace.

EARLY EDUCATION – PREKINDERGARTEN
PreK lays the foundation for success in life and school. Active learning stations, free play, outdoor exploration, and structured lessons help students develop social-emotional and academic skills, while building upon the child’s natural curiosity to develop a love of learning at an early age. PreK is full-day, and parents can choose from three-day (M,T, Th), four-day (M-Th), or five-day options. PreK students must be three and a half years old and potty trained by September 1 to be eligible for admission. Learn more about PreKindergarten.

The Forest School Friday program allows PreK and Kindergarten students to take their learning outdoors to explore nature, build knowledge of and appreciation for God’s creation, and engage in child-led play. Forest School is a concept encouraging routine, child-led outdoor learning experiences to help build resilience, improve social skills and mental health, and connect to nature.

ELEMENTARY PROGRAM (K-4TH)
Our Kindergarten program balances an academically rigorous literacy and math program with built-in time for play-based learning and imaginative play. In every aspect of learning,
students grow cognitively and socially so they are prepared for future success. Parents can choose from four-days (M-Th), or five-day options. Kindergarteners must be at least 5 years old by September 1 to attend. Learn more about Kindergarten.

The elementary program builds strong academic and social skills within a restorative justice framework that nurtures the whole child, and helps them develop a strong community with teachers and classmates. Hands-on learning experiences provide students the opportunity to apply their learning, build knowledge, and develop critical thinking.

VAPOR Y PENSAMIENTO DE DISEÑO

Nuestro programa STEAM busca establecer conexiones entre la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería, el arte y las matemáticas para que los estudiantes puedan colaborar y aplicar lo aprendido a problemas del mundo real.

Students at all grade levels walk through the design-thinking steps of defining, inventing, creating, and testing projects. In addition to their courses in science, math, and music, elementary students also participate in Art & Design class in the Makerspace. LM’s Makerspace is a place where students can gather to share ideas and knowledge with one another as they work on projects related to fine art and design.
