Learning Communities
Learning Communities are mid-size co-ed groups that are non-competitive in nature. The Learning Communities foster working together in a safe and stimulating environment.
Course notes and PowerPoint are given to all participants in digital form. The environment is interactive and didactic with the emphasis on convergence of truth which includes the following: the identification of truth, the understanding of truth and highlighting potential forms of personal and public application. Grades and tests are not used, instead each student develops a Learning Contract based upon how he/she learns. The completion of a learning contract satisfies the requirements for each Learning Community.
Purpose – To foster an interactive environment while identifying, comprehending and applying the truth.
