Whole-Child Education
At iLEAD Lancaster, we emphasize whole-child education. This is an approach that focuses on the development of the whole child, including their emotional, social, physical, and intellectual well-being. We provide a holistic approach to learning, placing equal importance on academic and non-academic areas, such as social and emotional development, physical fitness, and creativity. We create a safe and supportive learning environment that encourages children to be active participants in their own learning and development.
This approach to education recognizes that children have different learning styles and abilities, and that a one-size-fits-all approach to education is not effective. Whole-child education focuses on personalized learning that takes into account each child’s strengths, interests, and needs.
In our whole-child educational environment, our facilitators serve as mentors and guides, rather than just instructors. They provide opportunities for learners to engage in hands-on learning experiences, collaborate with others, and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
A whole-child education has been shown to benefit children in many ways, including improving academic achievement, supporting greater social and emotional well-being, and increasing creativity and innovation. Our approach helps children develop the skills and attitudes they need to become lifelong learners who are capable of adapting to the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
