Our Integrated Humanities Program
One of the hallmarks of Los Encinos School is a rich co-curricular program that routinely integrates fine and performing arts, eco-literacy, field trips, community service, athletics, and academic support. Our specialist team is comprised of teachers in the areas of art, music, science, drama, library, physical education, and technology. The inclusive values that characterize the school are evident in these activities.
In addition, Los Encinos rotates through a four year cycle of thematic emphases: Science and Technology, multi-cultural Awareness, Connections Across Time, and Exploration of Language.
The school-wide theme this year is, “Wonderment and Curiosity in the Natural World.”
Integration is virtually synonymous with curriculum at Los Encinos School. Not only is the content integrated across the disciplines by the classroom teacher, but it is also enriched by the specialist teachers.
Furthermore, the rotating yearly themes emphasize multi-culturalism, environmental awareness, language arts, and math/science, providing additional opportunities for integration and for meaningful connections among the grade levels.
