ARTICLES ABOUT LOWER AND UPPER SCHOOL
Here you will find articles
specifically written to answer questions about our Lower
School (ages 9-10) and Upper School (ages 11-adult)
programs.
These articles were
authored by Steven David Horwich over the years that the
curricula was developed, to answer questions posed by
parents and educators. Steven has been an educator for
over 35 years, and has taught on the University level, as
well as privately, at private and public schools.
These articles, authored during the years that Connect The
Thoughts was developed, answer many key questions that
parents and educators had about the curricula. They
also provide the reader a more thorough sense of the
approach this curricula takes.
Please note that until August 2010, our Curricula for
ages 5-8 was called
1st Step.
This curricula is still sold as 1st Step in some places,
but on our site it has been completely integrated in with
Connect The Thoughts, as it was always intended to
be. You may see references to 1st Step in various of
the articles.
These articles are only one way to discover the
curricula, its methods and design. Throughout this
site you will find many videos. Each video explains a
certian level of the curricula, or a certain subject and how
it is taught. There are descriptions of each course
we offer, as well as samples of every course. We hope
that you'll find our site of real use.
