The faculty of NLCA participated in a series of workshops prior to school being in session. The workshops focused on Building Critical Thinking Skills in our students. It was very exciting for our teachers and seems to be a wave of excitement for our students as well. You may recognize some changes in your child’s homework routine, their test taking strategies, and their problem solving skills. This is all part of the new additions to our curriculum. We are striving to make 21st Century Learners out of all our students. We are combining technology and higher level thinking skills with the already outstanding curriculum of NLCA!
