the true spirit of what it means to be a student of LALC.  We are implementing a new values program next year that is hinged on the Filipino concept of

Kapwa.  Kapwa is a relational concept that will teach children the value of thinking about others as co-equal with

themselves.  This entails developing in them a certain sense of integrity and identity about themselves that they can and will use as a benchmark of how they relate to other people.”  Teacher Katz, LALC Center Directress, follows this up by adding “the new image also goes to show how committed we are to enhancing and developing the individual child, but always in relation to and context with other people.”
