Central to your child's school experience is the underlying curriculum taught in the classroom. "Curriculum" refers to both what is taught and how it's taught. When considering the different curricula outlined in the next few pages, keep in mind that few schools fall neatly into one category or another. Most schools' curricula comprise a blend of best practices drawn from multiple curriculum types. Having said that, most schools do have a general overall curriculum type. These are identified for each school on OurKids.net.
Primary Curriculum: ProgressiveProgressive (sometimes called "inquiry based" or "discovery based") curricula use students' interests and their natural curiosity as the driver for instruction. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources necessary for students to investigate a topic or issue. Students are then encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers, solutions, and insights.

Dear All!
Liceum Artes Liberales is a modern school offering high-quality general education. We combine strong academic ambitions and thorough preparation for the Polish Matura and further studies in Poland and abroad with a wide range of activities that support our students in building peer relationships, self-esteem, and a sense of agency. We are guided by the belief that academic success is a result of personal development.
We want LAL students to better understand the past, the present, including the beautiful ambiguity and diversity of our world, as well as themselves. Our goal is for them to graduate as intellectually free individuals, capable of learning and acting with courage and responsibility.
Liceum Artes Liberales is a promise of a shared journey through four formative years in the life of a young person and their parents. Four years of particular importance, as they culminate in entering adulthood and taking responsibility for one’s choices and life.
Welcome to LAL, a good and wise place for growth.
Welcome to a school that truly cares.
