The transdisciplinary feature of our curriculum allows students to extend their learning within, across and beyond subject boundaries. The Five Transdisciplinary Domains in the "Glocalized' Curriculum are Environment, Human Creativity, Learning Approach, Personal Growth, Social and Health Education, Society and Community Service. ICT-INFUSED INQUIRY-DRIVEN CURRICULUM-At LA, we use technology as a tool for improving students' learning and communication with teachers. “The 1:1 Program” requires Year 7 students to purchase their own MacBook. It aims to facilitate ICT-infused curriculum effectively and efficiently. A HOLISTIC APPROACH-At LA, there are no boundaries in learning. Learning is not confined to classrooms or laboratories. Aiming to ensure our students’ whole-person development, the school strived to foster their innate passion for learning, while encouraging them to explore their interest through a wide range of co-curricular activities. The school organizes different activities in music, sports, visual arts and food technology etc. which not only benefit students’ physical and mental well-being, but also instill the virtues of perseverance and self-discipline in them. We also organize Global Classroom activities, which include local and overseas learning tours. They emphasize on learning that cannot be experienced in the classroom.
