What does this mean for families, students, and staff?
Most parents can agree: school is definitely not the same as it was when they went through it. Many can recall days spent trying to memorize content in areas like science, English, math, and social studies. The demands of the 21st Century and global workforce call upon students to have a deep understanding of the integration between content mastery, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity, and global mindedness. Our classrooms must reflect the rapidly changing, diverse nature of the workforce and we believe our Portrait of Learner focuses on key areas for learners of all ages to grow and embrace.
