A strong social curriculum complements the academic curriculum and develops the interpersonal skills, multicultural understanding, and community engagement critical for a life of active citizenship. 

Lowell’s carefully designed, integrated curriculum creates a conceptual framework that provides many opportunities for students to pursue topics that interest them and to extend their learning beyond the boundaries of classrooms and textbooks. With teachers acting as facilitators and guides, no idea is too big to explore, and students gain confidence and competence in their learning by trying new ideas.
