About the Employer Our schools are socio-economically, racially and ethnically diverse communities. Our students engage in a challenging, experiential learning environment that develops their confidence, potential, and individual responsibility as true citizens of the world. Our schools are tuition free and non-religious. The mission of CWC Los Angeles is realized through our core fundamentals of academic excellence, diversity, and community. Our approach recognizes the importance of standardized tests while acknowledging that they reveal only a small part of the picture in determining overall student achievement. We believe that children must be assessed and educated well beyond the traditional “core” intelligences of reading, writing and computing. Art, music, dance, physical education, social-emotional development and other disciplines all have an important place in our schools and in the development of our children. Extending our focus to these pursuits will help develop a lifelong passion for learning and will give students a well-rounded education. The learning model of Citizens of the World Los Angeles is based on Constructivism, a theory in which knowledge is built (or constructed) on earlier knowledge. We structure learning to build on what students already know and support them in revising and refining their understanding as they work toward mastery. In addition to content knowledge, our students will engage in learning processes that develop conceptual understanding as well as self-knowledge. The following components help us bring this theory to life in each classroom: Project-based learning: Project-based learning integrates skills and knowledge through meaningful projects that make abstract learning concepts concrete. As reflective learners, children connect what they learn to their own lives. Teachers strive to teach for understanding, ensuring that students internalize deeply what they learn and are, in turn, able to apply what they learn to new and different circumstances and contexts. Low student-to-teacher ratios: In order to meet each child’s learning needs and to allow for a variety of instructional methods, CWC Schools’ staffing structure ensures a low student-to-teacher ratio. This allows for small-group instructional support from a teacher, while an assistant teacher may monitor independent work, lead partner games, or direct activities throughout the classroom. Talent and leadership: Our students benefit from excellent educators at
