SEMINARS with Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School

SEMINARS with Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School HOME

Seminars are an integral part of the Lighthouse School philosophy and curriculum. Meeting twice a week for 1 1/2 hours a session, the seminars are a way for students and teachers to explore in depth subjects which might not be covered under the traditional parameters of a middle school curriculum. Each quarter the seminar offerings change to reflect both the instructional interests of the faculty as well as the learning interests of the students. The seminars also provide a window of opportunity for community members to act as resource partners and sharing in the education of our local students. Reflections are completed by the students at the end of each seminar. A letter grade, or Pass/Fail are provided by the facilitators.
