Holistic education at Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAPCL) can be elaborated with 4Hs. They are Heart, Habits, Head, and Hands.As illustrated by the school logo, which is a tree rooted in streams of water, our teaching and learning are grounded in "heart-work". It is written that "keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life" (Proverb 4:23). How do our learners guard their heart from the distortion of pride and fear? It requires a humble heart.
Humility allows us to have the right relationship with God, with self, and with others. A humble person has a healthy self-image, is teachable, and appreciates others' strength. Humility makes room for one to learn from criticism, mistakes, and confrontation, as well as gives courage for one to take risks in overcoming uncertainty. Furthermore, CAPCL aims to support learners to develop healthy and godly habits. They are mighty learners and citizens who look after themselves and care for others.
Building on the solid foundation of "heart-work" with healthy and godly habits, learners are ready to learn and apply their learning. This is represented by the school logo – a tree which flourishes with green leaves and bears good fruits. CAPCL is intentional in integrating Biblical truth with the Alberta Bilingual curriculum. Learners have opportunities to apply what they learn (Head) into services (Hands) to one another within the school community and in our neighbourhood. As mighty learners and citizens, CAPCL learners are servant leaders and community leaders – to be an example in speech and behaviour, in love, faith, and purity.CAPCL believes that development of these four domains – heart, habits, head, and hands – bring forth quality holistic education.
