His past positions include Assistant Head at Cathedral School for Boys (San Francisco) and Dean/Latin Teacher at The Trinity School in Manhattan. ==Curriculum== Logan's curriculum is designed for gifted students ages four and a half to fourteen. Each student has an individualized curriculum based on their abilities, learning style, and personal interests.〔 At the beginning of each school year, students each choose a ''unit'' to study (some older students choose more than one), with students encouraged to pick a unit subject that interests them, as they will spend a large portion of their time at school studying their units. The curriculum of units is designed to help teach reading, writing, math, science and other subjects, by helping students build connections between these subjects and their interests. Field trips are an important part of the program, often with an environmental emphasis.〔(Education at Lowry )〕 The Logan School has 12 core classrooms, including students of varying ages, usually within 2 years of each other. Children typically spend 2 years with one teacher.〔Davidson Institute for Talent Development, (Logan School profile ), in GT-Cybersource website.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Logan School for Creative Learning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
