Dear Lincoln Family,
Welcome to our 2010-2011 school year. Our teachers and administrative staff are eager and ready to welcome you to another exciting and memorable year.
As the High School Principal, I thrive on timely, positive, and effective communication. My door will always be open to students, parents, and teachers in pursuit of a solid, enthusiastic, and rewarding learning experience.
This year, one of our goals is to make the most of the wonders of technology in the classroom for the benefit of our students’ learning. To accomplish that, our school has completely remodeled its classrooms to accommodate overhead projectors, teachers’ laptops, and modern desks for the use of those High School students willing to bring their own.
Technology will not only be another course required for students at Lincoln, it will also be applied and fully integrated into our curriculum. That is, subjects like Math, Science, English and others will be learned and practiced on the web, with modern programs, and with many other technological resources. Internet safety and productivity will be closely monitored by our teachers.
I trust that with the guidance of God, we will help our students attain, not only their academic goals, but also the joy that comes with becoming better citizens and the leaders of tomorrow.
May the faith be with you!
Roberto Porta Córdoba
High School Principal
LIA SECONDARY SCHOOL CURRICULUM
The purpose of the Secondary School curriculum is to provide quality preparation for college, with strong emphasis on Mathematics, Science, and Humanities. We believe that the course offered at Lincoln International Academy will provide students with successful and positive experiences. Students will encounter many opportunities for academic, physical, social, emotional and spiritual growth. In addition, it will enhance students' present skills and abilities and help them be better prepared for success in the next grade and in life's endeavors. In order to graduate at Lincoln, students are also required to do one hundred hours of Community Service during the last five years of Secondary education.
GRADE REQUIREMENTS
To graduate, students must fulfill Secondary School graduation requirements as outlined by the Nicaraguan Ministry of Education and United States High School type curriculum standards, as well as AdvancED SACS standards. A minimum of 42 credit units must be completed during the Secondary School term (7th - 12th).
