In the Classroom
About
As stated in our philosophy, we believe that academic excellence demands deep multicultural understanding, strong collaborative skills, and commitment to one’s local community and the larger world. Our goal is to prepare children for what it means to be 21st-century citizens.
Curriculum in Action
Through Lowell’s integrated social and academic curricula, children explore their own identities. They get to know, understand, and appreciate the diversity of their classmates, and they work together to build an inclusive and equitable community. Below are some curricular highlights. You can also read more about how we address social justice under Academics.
