Curriculum
Logan's curriculum is designed for gifted students ages four and a half to fourteen. Each student has an individualized curriculum based on their abilities, learning style, and personal interests. At the beginning of each school year, students each choose a unit to study (some older students choose more than one), with students encouraged to pick a unit subject that interests them, as they will spend a large portion of their time at school studying their units. The curriculum of units is designed to help teach reading, writing, math, science and other subjects, by helping students build connections between these subjects and their interests. Field trips are an important part of the program, often with an environmental emphasis.
The Logan School has 13 core classrooms, including students of varying ages, usually within 2 years of each other. Children typically spend 2 years with one teacher.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
