Curriculum and Instruction
LCIS follows the Indiana Academic Standards as its core curriculum, which specifies the minimum expectations for learning in all grades and disciplines.
Locally-developed additions to the curriculum serve to expand and enrich these state-wide measures of performance. The core curriculum is fluid and flexible, responding to the learning needs of students and affected by new information and technologies. Technology plays an integral role in the daily operations of LCIS.
Technology as Instructional Support: At LCIS, we believe integrating technology into the instructional process has the potential to positively impact the educational experiences we provide to our students. The availability of technology and high quality digital resources allows for students to demonstrate creativity and innovation, to communicate and collaborate, to research and evaluate information, and to think critically.
