Curriculum

There are eight (8) Departments at SLSS in which 57 teachers fall into and in which subjects are categorized. The Departments are listed below:
Technology Education
Technology education is the study of technology, in which students “learn about the processes and knowledge related to technology”.As a field of study, it covers the human’s ability to shape and change the physical world to meet needs, by manipulating materials and tools with techniques. It addresses the disconnect between wide usage and the lack of knowledge about technical components of technologies used and how to fix them.
Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA)
The performing arts are arts such as music, dance, and drama which are performed for an audience.They are different from the visual arts, which are the use of paint, canvas or various materials to create physical or static art objects. Performing arts include a range of disciplines which are performed in front of a live audience, including theatre, music, and dance.
Business
Business studies, often simply called business, is a field of study that deals with the principles of business, management, and economics. It combines elements of accountancy, finance, marketing, organizational studies, human resource management, and operations. Business studies is a broad subject, where the range of topics is designed to give the student a general overview of the various elements of running a business. The teaching of business studies is known as business education.
Foreign Languages
The study of language brings students into contact with people and cultures that are very different from their own, and in a way that encourages respect for diversity. This exposure lowers the barriers that are often at the root of fear and distrust of others. Thus, the knowledge gained from language study contributes to empathy and tolerance towards diverse peoples and reduces prejudice both at home and abroad.
Mathematics and IT
Educational Studies in Mathematics presents new ideas and developments of major importance to those working in the field of mathematics education. It seeks to reflect both the variety of research concerns within this field and the range of methods used to study them. It deals with methodological, pedagogical/didactical, political and socio-cultural aspects of teaching and learning of mathematics, rather than with specific programmes for teaching mathematics and IT
English Language Arts
The discipline of English language arts includes reading, writing, listening, speaking, viewing, and producing texts, broadly defined. These texts include various narrative, informational, and literary genres, as well as visual information, both on the written page and in digital mediums. We define the core purpose of teaching English language arts as developing in human beings the ability to use a wide repertoire of tools for communicating one’s own ideas, experiences, and perspectives, and for receiving, interpreting, analyzing, and evaluating the communication of others.
Science and Physical Education
The Physical Education program provides opportunities for students to become critical thinkers, creative planners and effective practitioners in various physical activity contexts. To be successful in this field, one must a) develop foundational knowledge within the physical, biological and social sciences and be able to apply this knowledge through best practices; b) be able to plan and facilitate physically and emotionally safe activities, and c) have a professional disposition committed to ethical behavior, respecting individual differences, and helping individuals learn and grow.
Modern Studies
Modern Studies is contemporary and dynamic subject that focuses on the world we live in today. It covers key elements of the modern world such as politics, sociology and international relations. Issues range from political ideology and democratic government to human rights issues and crime.
