ACADEMICS
The over-arching aim of our program is to develop in our students, the knowledge, skills and dispositions necessary to respond successfully to future challenges in other schools, in post-secondary education, and in an interdependent, multicultural work environment. We value intellectual curiosity, and are committed to the education of our students through the development of empathy, ethical behavior, integrity, discipline, and service, based on a firm foundation of Christian values.
The Art and Design is one of the attractive programs offered in THE LORD’S FOUNDATION ACADEMY. The aim of the program is to appeal to students to explore practical work through a range of two- and/or three-dimensional processes and include new media and technologies in addition to traditional media and processes. The scheme has been designed to combine a breadth and depth of study, to accommodate a wide range of abilities and individual resources, and to provide opportunities for its students to explore both practical and critical/contextual work
Visual Arts Program
The aim of the Visual Arts program is to appeal to students to explore practical work through a range of two- and/or three-dimensional processes and include new media and technologies in addition to traditional media and processes. The scheme has been designed to combine a breadth and depth of study, to accommodate a wide range of abilities and individual resources, and to provide opportunities for its students to explore both practical and critical/contextual work. The programme is structured in a way that encourages personal expression, imagination, sensitivity, conceptual thinking, and powers of observation, as well as analytical abilities and practical attitudes. We make it fun as the students and faculty visit Galleries, exhibition centres and places of cultural significance. In TLFA, Visual Arts students have the opportunities to gain a greater understanding of the role of the visual arts in the history of civilizations, and so widen and enrich their cultural horizons.
Currently, we are working on our all-school musical, with the Orchestra, a Musical Production that will go live in 22 at the National Theatre. The cast is taken mainly from the upper and Lower School Divisions with a few minor parts given to students in the Pre-school Division. Casting is done by auditioning. Music and orchestration are provided by the Music Department, consisting of the 50-member Lower School choir, the upper primary school choir and orchestra. Vocals for the Production are done by the Lower school choir, while the main solo renditions are done by the choir of the upper primary Division. Instrumentation is provided by the school orchestra. Rehearsals are intensive and are done on Thursdays. Parents play a vital role in support and sponsorship of the various events, as well as helping to procure sponsors. All productions are produced and directed by our ever talented TLFA faculty.
Music is an integral part of the learning experience in TLFA. Every student is exposed to music instruction in the classroom. This instruction focuses on the elements, rudiments, and appreciation of music. Students are also provided with the resources to listen and explore different styles of music from countries all over the world. Learning to play recorders, hand bells and small percussion instruments is also part of the classroom culture of the elementary school. Co-curricular activities include the lower and upper primary school choirs and the school orchestra. Extra-curricular activities include private one-on-one instruction in piano, guitar, violin, saxophone, trumpet and clarinet. Also included in the extra-curricular program are cultural dancing and drumming, modern dance and ballet. Each semester in-school events are organized for the Christmas and Easter seasons where the musical talents and achievements of the students are showcased and recognized.
