Engaged, Ethical and Entrepreneurial
Canadian Curriculum

How should we define an international school? An international student community, an internationally mixed faculty, an international (i.e., non-local) curriculum, or a school that promotes "international-mindedness"? Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) cultivates "international-mindedness" among learners. International-mindedness is a view of the world in which people are connected to one another in the global community. Internationally-minded people appreciate and value the diversity of cultures of this world. International-mindedness fits well within a Biblical framework as well as the philosophy of Canadian Education. CAPCL adopts the Canadian curriculum, using the Alberta Programs of Study. We value learning as an active, social process. Children are learners, making meaning of self, others, and the world. Knowledge is co-constructed through each child's engagement with people, places, objects, and ideas.
We value play. It is one of many multimodal literacies and an essential medium through which children explore and participate with others and in the world. Children's active engagement and participation in learning is demonstrated through their theory building, creativity, problem solving, playfulness, and imagination. Children experience reciprocity of relationships and interconnectedness of ideas in an inclusive community where teachers value children's contributions and seek out diverse perspective of/for learning. Learning becomes dynamic as teachers and children come together to explore, communicate, examine, question, problem-solve, and challenge what is known and what is yet to be understood. Ideas bring people together, and active engagement and participation is what helps those ideas deepen and grow more meaningful. Our Treehouse Library, CA Makerspace, Heavenly Studio, CloudWorks, Dreamland as well as Indoor, Outdoor, & Covered Play Space are tailored to support our mighty learners and citizens to grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
