Main Lesson
The Heart of the Curriculum
The two-hour morning Main Lesson is the academic cornerstone of each day. Main Lesson is taught by the Class Teacher and planned around a block system that lasts from three to six weeks. This unique period gives students time for in-depth exploration of mathematics, sciences, language arts, and social studies.
Textbooks and worksheets are rarely used. Instead, students create Main Lesson books that hold original writing, lab observations, and carefully rendered illustrations—true academic and artistic reflections of learning.
