Welcome to the IALS Journal

Our peer-reviewed, open-access journal is typically published once an academic year. We hope these publications will foster academic discourse on topics relevant to laboratory and university-affiliated schools.

Articles in the IALS Journal offer perspectives on educational trends, including:

-The history and future of lab schools
-Innovations in curricula and programs
-Lab school administration
-Teacher education

Article Types

IALS is now accepting a variety of article types relative to the research, teaching, and learning of educators, students, and communities in and around lab schools. More information about the article types, and submission process can be found on the Aims and Scope page.

The IALS Journal is a peer-reviewed, open-access publication dedicated to research and practice in laboratory and university-affiliated schools. We are actively building our reviewer pool and welcome colleagues from across this international community — university faculty, lab school practitioners, and administrators — who are willing to contribute their expertise to the peer review process. Reviewers typically evaluate 1–3 manuscripts per year and provide feedback within 3–4 weeks of accepting a review invitation.
