Philosophy
Based on the teachings of Confucius, LUCIs educational philosophy asserts that students learn
best when they are actively involved in their education, when they become responsible for their
growth as students, and when learning comes from the reflection on what they have learned.
LUCI expects its students to work at the highest level of which they are capable, aiming to have
each student satisfactorily complete each stage before moving on.
A LUCIan education incorporates all aspects of human developmentintellectual, social,
physical, aesthetic, and moraland integrates learning by guiding students to be curious about
all that the world has to offer. LUCI students build skills in Mathematics, English, Science,
Reading, Writing, and Critical Thinking, while developing an appreciation for the arts and

humanities. Students develop a strong sense of themselves as individuals and as members of a

close community.
LUCI is a small community, permitting students and faculty to know one another well. Frequent
group work in classes enables students to teach and learn from one another. All students work
individually, in small groups, and as a whole class. This close community allows teachers to
create developmentally appropriate and interdisciplinary curricula.
LUCI believes it is essential for students to develop a commitment to the larger community.
Through the curriculum and LUCIs community service program, it is our goal that students
recognize the importance of their active participation in local, regional, national, and global
issues. With a rich educational program as a foundation, students can contribute positively to the
world in which they live.
The LUCI, famously known as a Chinese School, embraces diversity, and values the integrity of
the individual. Individual differences of religion, culture, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity,
sexual orientation, physical appearance, and ability are acknowledged and respected. Every
member of the community strives to behave in a sensitive, tolerant, and respectful manner.
A diverse student body is an essential component of an experiential education. Students are most
able to understand, appreciate, and respect differences in a setting that includes these differences.
LUCI seeks a diverse community in order to fulfill its mission to provide a strong, humanistic
education for all students.
