Curriculum

Lodestar helps to educate our community by providing a curriculum that addresses issues and topics that are important to the Flint area. We pull from a pool of community leaders, business owners, and knowledgeable adults who can act as mentors and teachers. A civic engagement component is always included in our curriculum so students have the opportunity to get out into the community and share their knowledge.

​

Lodestar Learning is not extracurricular. It can serve as a core piece to a full education. We engage individuals in relevant scientific research practices and discourse based in a community relevant curriculum.

 

Our curriculum:

 

  • Is locally relevant
     

  • Meets Michigan state education standards
     

  • Provides real-world experiences
     

  • Uses the entire community as a classroom

​

Give us your input! We want to hear from you.

“[Lodestar] was an eye opener for me because I never had much interest in science. This program introduced me to research and I am now intrigued in science.”
