stream framework
The school’s curriculum is developed using CPALMS Florida’s official source for standards and a STREAM framework. STREAM stands for Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, & Math. This framework is unique to LFEC and focuses on integrating academic disciplines. We support, nurture, inspire, and challenge students as they journey from elementary through middle school and as they become productive artists, writers, entrepreneurs, scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and all the other richly diverse roles.
Along with learning foundational skills, know-how (content area-specific practical skills), and know-what (content area-specific knowledge) in each course, all students explore how the unit's Essential Questions intersect with and interrogate that course's content. As an organizing curricular structure, STREAM recognizes that each learner has their own launch point and journey toward mastery in each subject. STREAM’s implicit assumption is that even our youngest students have intellectual lives rich with complex concepts about how and why the world works as it does.

Mathematics
Our drama courses focus on the art of writing and expressing stories, incorporating a wide variety of techniques in acting, improvisation, choreography, and both stagecraft and stage management. More traditional drama practice is complemented by theatre performance field trips and theatre visits to the school. Improvisation coursework emphasizes saying "Yes, and...." to being to peers in the moment in order to achieve a desired effect: laughter. In Readers theatre we read the story as a group. Afterwards, kids are then assigned a role in the play. Once the roles are assigned we don't just give them lines to read, we help them develop ideas of the character in which he or she is playing. Kids write the character's lines how they imagine it should be based on original text and their own personality.
