Curriculum & Insights
How we sequence a year of English.
A working outline of the LAB English curriculum framework — how learners move from foundational reading to authorship over an academic year.
Stage 01
Foundations
Building reading stamina, vocabulary in context, and simple written reflection.
Stage 02
Structure
Introducing genre awareness, grammar as pattern, and structured paragraphs.
Stage 03
Voice
Longer arguments, revision cycles, and the beginnings of a personal writing voice.
Stage 04
Authorship
Independent projects, essayistic reading, and portfolio-based assessment.
What we believe about curriculum
Design principles.
- Every unit answers a real question the learner cares about.
- Reading, writing, and reflection are always sequenced together.
- Assessment is designed to teach, not to sort.
- Teachers are trusted authors of the classroom.
