A Schedule that Supports Authentic Learning

We want to make sure that our students have the best possible schedule—one that allows them to engage in deep learning and transformative experiences.

A modular schedule is a way of organizing a school schedule into terms that have fewer, but longer class periods. A module, or mod, is the period of time the academic year is divided into. The LCS school year is divided into eight mods, each lasting approximately one month. Think of a mod as a short term or mini-semester. Full credit courses appear in four of the eight modules. This allows for students to be immersed in course content throughout their entire mod schedule.

In a Modular schedule, students will benefit from the researched benefits of mixing, or interleaving, multiple subjects in order to improve their learning. This pattern has been shown to help long-term retention of material, and more deeply embeds information.
