A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

W

elcome to our exciting Summer 2021

Programs Guide! We are bursting with enthusiasm for all things SUMMER. I love spending time outside in the sunshine, swimming, and traveling. It’s also a great time to learn something new or focus on a passion! We want LCDS to be your go-to Summer Fun Zone! This summer at LCDS will include more programming than ever before and we have something for everyone, from preschool through 12th grade. Have you always wanted to learn tumbling? We have that. We are transforming LCDS into Hogwarts! We’ll have wands, potions, and spells for muggles and wizards! Upper School Courses for Credit will give students entering grades 9-12 the opportunity to participate in intensive study during the summer and make room in their schedule for more electives during the school year.

Sincerely,

Heather Woodbridge Director of Summer Programs

LO faculty Dr. Trex Proffitt,CLCDS Prerequisite(s): none

Democracy and Civic Engagement helps students understand and act in today’s political world to effect better U.S. societal outcomes. Students will first learn about the foundations of America’s federal, state, and local government structures, how they operate, and how they’ve evolved and changed. They will then study movements that have created great change within the system. Finally, they will analyze current challenges and problems with civic participation and areas for further government policy work, and propose their own solutions. With a mainly historical focus, the course will ask students to analyze and debate specific cases and roleplay situations that illustrate key ideas. The class will emphasize critical thinking, research, debate, and written expression.

Each week will feature a capstone experience that involves a special project of the student’s choice, focusing on an area of government policy the student chooses for improvement and a plan for mobilizing and executing that proposal.

By the end of the course, students will understand how to be a better citizen in a democratic society and how to analyze multiple strategies for improving societal institutions.
