Christianne´s Lyceum of Art and Literature

<div id="cmsmasters_heading_5cc11dacca820" class="cmsmasters_heading_wrap cmsmasters_heading_align_left">
<p class="cmsmasters_heading">As a result of globalization and educational research, the “image of a child” has changed from that of an empty vessel or thirsty sponge to that of a “competent and unique individual” bringing her own strengths and learning competencies to the table. This in turn has brought about a shift from theories of learning that support the top-down transfer of select information to theories that support the co-construction of knowledge in the classroom and beyond. We believe literature is the best conduit with which to construct such knowledge.</p>

<div class="cmsmasters_text">
<div>This shift is reflected in the philosophical base of all programs offered at the Lyceum.</div>
<div></div>
<div>At the Lyceum we choose to concentrate on the perceptual dimension of learning in an effort to challenge binary thinking and encourage exploration of “possibilities.” Nurturing a lens through which to view personal, local, and global interactions helps children develop guiding principles when approaching problematic situations inherent in a diverse society.</div>
