羅索湖學院計畫強調學生需要學習核心課程,培養對他人的關懷和同情心,獲得健康和保健策略,並培養對世界無盡的好奇心。在 RLC,這些價值觀是在課堂和運動場上培養的;外出旅行、在餐廳用餐以及沿著小徑散步時。遠離城市中心,位於佔地 56 英畝的馬斯科卡海濱,為學生提供了積極生活並與他人進行有意義的互動的獨特機會。
透過我們基於戶外教育的創新學術計劃,RLC 打算:
我們在獨立學校教育中最大的差異和我們最大的優勢是規模。就學生人數而言,RLC 是加拿大最小的私立學校,這是有意而為之的。我們的規模讓教師和學生之間建立了真正的夥伴關係,並創造了對教育和個人發現的共同興奮。遵守的要求更少,表達和慶祝我們差異的機會更多。我們的學生受益於所有教師、同學、導師和家長志工的關注和了解。沒有人會在人群中迷失。
我們的學術和課外活動模式已經經過 50 多年的驗證。 「RLC 徹底改變了我的兒子,」一位 10 年級學生的家長說。 “從各個方面來說,他都在成為他應該成為的人。”這就是 RLC 創建的目的:幫助學生發現自己的本質,然後與彼此和世界分享。
The Rosseau Lake College program highlights the students’ need to access the core curriculum as well as to build care and compassion for others, acquire health and wellness strategies, and grow an unending curiosity for the world. At RLC, those values are developed in the classroom and on the playing field; on outtrips, over meals in the dining hall, and during walks along the trails. Being situated away from urban centres, on 56-acres of Muskoka waterfront, grants a unique opportunity for students to live actively and to engage meaningfully with others.
Through our innovative academic program based in outdoor education, RLC intends to:
Our greatest distinction within independent schooling—and our greatest advantage—is scale. RLC is the smallest independent school in Canada in terms of student population, and that’s intentional. Our size allows for a genuine sense of partnership between teacher and student, and it creates a shared excitement about educational and personal discovery. There is less requirement to conform, more opportunity to express and celebrate our differences. Our students benefit from being visible and known to all faculty, peers, mentors, and parent volunteers. No one gets lost in the crowd.
Our academic and co-curricular model has proven itself for more than 50 years. “RLC has absolutely transformed my son,” says a parent of a Grade 10 student. “In every way, he is becoming the person he was meant to be.” That’s what RLC was created to do: help students find what is in themselves, and then share it with each other and the world.
