INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY

  

Through the pathways for the multiple intelligences, we assist the student in developing the five major abilities on four different levels.  Through a program of studies which includes traditional high school and college preparatory courses, each student becomes knowledgeable about her own strongest intelligences and learns how to strengthen those that may be weaker. 

 

Teaching methods offer a strong emphasis on project and presentation work in which students actively demonstrate what they learn and know.  Students not only receive traditional grades, they also receive assessments which tell them exactly how they are doing and emphasize which intelligences are their strongest ones.  Students are consistently required to reflect on their own learning processes and how they are affected by them.

 INTEGRATED ABILITIES
A major component in all subjects and programs at St. Joan Antida High School is the emphasis on integrated abilities:  
  • Accessing Information
  • Thinking Dynamically
  • Communicating Effectively
  • Participating Responsibly in a Global Environment
  • Enhancing Personal Competency

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

In addition to Integrated Abilities, the faculty and staff are committed to using Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences as a frame work for teaching and learning across curriculum areas:

  • Verbal/Linguistic
  • Logical/Mathematical
  • Visual/Spatial
  • Bodily/Kinesthetic
  • Musical/Rhuthmic
  • Interpersonal
  • Intrapersonal
  • Naturalist
  • Spiritualist
