- Kula’s curriculum recognizes active, hands-on experiences as the most powerful and natural form of learning. To fully engage ideas, construct meaning, and remember information, students must regularly employ the whole range of communicative media – oral language, writing, drawing, poetry, dance, drama, music, movement, and visual arts. The immersion in experience and expression is balanced by opportunities for learners to reflect, integrate, and apply their experiences to what they have felt, thought and learned. The classroom is considered a model community where students learn what they live as citizens of the school. Kula embraces cultural diversity as well as different learning styles. We believe that students learn best when faced with genuine challenges, choices, and responsibility in their own learning. Kula also recognizes the importance of fostering inquiry to promote a life-long love of learning. Therefore we strive to develop units that:
-Integrate world cultures
-Embraces the notion of community
-Promotes sustainability
-Reflects a variety of perspectives
-Creates connections
-Examines what it means to be human
-Includes rich content
-Emphasizes process & project based learning
