Skills Based
Inquiry Based
Our curriculum provides traditional as well as inquiry-based learning techniques and project-based learning. These approaches to teaching spur our students to ask their own questions and pursue a wide range of interests in the classroom. Inquiry-based learning requires students to be active learners who take ownership of their learning process and challenges them to develop their organization, collaboration, and communication skills. It also pushes students to learn how to take risks in their work, a key component in building confidence and becoming self-aware, mature adults.
Respect & Accountability
At the heart of a Lovell Academy education is the call for students to treat themselves and others with respect and to take personal responsibility for their words and actions. Inherent in this culture is the development of the essential life skills of living away from home, time-management, and thoughtful communication. Lovell student-athletes graduate from the academy with a high level of confidence and maturity.
In-Person Learning
“We believe in-person learning is the best tool to provide a quality education. Our student-athletes thrive by having daily interaction with educators and peers. We recognize that what chiefly sets Lovell Academy apart is the excellence of its hockey program, and we believe that our academic program should continue to set the same lofty standards.”
