Our students must successfully navigate a rapidly changing world, participate in a complex and increasingly diverse democracy, and engage fully in the ever-evolving 21st century workplace. Our students must be able to communicate their ideas effectively, think creatively, work collaboratively to solve problems, and manage their own learning. They need to develop dispositions—or mindsets—that empower them to confront new challenges, take initiative, and persevere through difficulties and setbacks.
With this in mind, our goal is to support students in developing: a deep understanding of core academic content; the ability to transfer that understanding to novel problems and situations; and the skills necessary to be a transforming influence in the world.
