What Makes Us Different Makes a Difference!
Holistic Assessment Strategies
Standards-Based Assessment
Our standards-based assessment provides detailed insights into students' specific skills and knowledge, enhancing the consistency across grades and aligning with our Mastery Learning Model. This method focuses on the mastery of content knowledge, teamwork, and behavioral expectations, offering a clear picture of each student's strengths and areas for improvement.
Mastery Learning Model
In the Mastery Learning Model, students are encouraged to learn at their own pace, focusing on a concept or skill until they achieve mastery. This approach is assessed using a 4-point scale, ensuring students gain a thorough understanding of each topic, supporting our mission to provide a profound educational experience.
Hands-On Learning
Our "Hands-On" learning philosophy integrates subjects like Language Arts, History, Science, Technology, and Art into project-based activities. This method promotes active participation and a deeper comprehension of subjects through practical application, making learning engaging and relevant.
Integrated Learning Approaches
Project-Based Learning
Project-Based Learning at SNU Lab School involves students in real-world challenges, enhancing their ability to apply knowledge in practical settings. This method develops critical thinking, creativity, and persistence by integrating 21st Century Skills into the curriculum, fostering students' ability to innovate and solve complex problems.
Developing Creative Confidence by Design!
Social Emotional Learning
Our SEL curriculum is crucial in developing the whole child, helping them manage emotions, achieve goals, and maintain positive relationships. Aligned with the standards of the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL), this approach enriches students' interpersonal and self-management skills, essential for personal and professional success.
Content Area Learning
