LTSM High School
LTSM High school
Liceul Teoretic Școala Mea approaches education from the perspective of preparing the individual for a global society, confident in his opinions, able to propose solutions, respect cultural or opinion differences and to promote the principle of the five Is: Individuality, Identity, Integrity, Innovation, Internationalism.
The high school curriculum develops functional skills, essential for the successful integration into the national or international university environment through an educational program focused on interdisciplinarity and performance.
Investigative instruction causes students to develop the skills to research the information they need for intellectual development. Liceul Teoretic Școala Mea encourages high school students to approach reflective learning, which involves building their own system of analysis and creation, the ultimate goal being the acquisition of intellectual autonomy of complete and complex knowledge.
LTSM develops students’ ability to process the information they accumulate by helping them to identify, understand, and make logical connections between their own ideas and arguments, detect reasoning errors in arguments and debates, and build and perceive the justifications behind opinions or beliefs.
Respecting different opinions is a principle that LTSM students learn through contact with various cultures by joining our programs, organized in collaboration with schools in different countries.
Liceul teoretic Școala Mea proposes the development of the entrepreneurial spirit of its students through various entrepreneurial education programs:
- “My Parent, My Hero” – entrepreneurial education program that involves parents;
- Community learning programs, by organizing extracurricular activities supported by partners in various fields of economic activity (Financial education programs supported by banking institutions, Volunteer Programs or Fundraising Events).
Education for social responsibility guarantees the social integration of the personality of the educated throughout his existence. An important component of it is moral education, which determines the formation of personality through civic values such as: autonomy, internal motivation to perform actions, human solidarity, valuing integrity, etc.
Cultural education provides awareness, knowledge and competence and thus promotes communication and cooperation in the community. The programs of Liceul Teoretic Școala Mea use the cultural and social concept as an indispensable element in the instructive processes, as follows:
The Peer Mentoring Program and the Student Council, cohesion programs of the LTSM student community, through which they share educational and cultural experiences and initiate and practice the formation of community leadership skills.
LTSM students are regularly involved in internal volunteer activities aimed at supporting charitable projects. These take place through traditional events: Drama Week, Cup of Good Hope, Christmas Fair, Talent Show.
Volunteer programs in partnership with various economic actors or cultural bodies are also manifestations of social responsibility (Joy at the Box Project, Conferences on educational topics, etc.).
