The playground is commonly forgotten in education, when it really is a key element in the development of our students.
This is why at Lighthouse American School there is no playground, there is Smart Play.
Smart Play is a groundbreaking way of understanding recess. Before, the main objective for parents and teachers alike was to avoid children getting hurt. No one getting hurt by the end of the day, was considered a success.
With Smart Play we take advantage of the opportunity that the playground gives us to promote physical, cognitive and social development of our student body.
