Over the past decade, we have seen an unprecedented rise in the amount of
information available to people and to the interconnectedness of people around
the world. To continue to offer a rich diversity of engaging programs to
students, we, too need to grow. Students need to not only be competent in
reading, writing and mathematics, but also 21st century
skills . They must be inspired to
navigate the sea of information through speaking, writing, multi-media, and
creativity. Students need to become more globally aware and learn to
collaborate with people face-to-face and around the world. A well-rounded
education is no longer just the three R’s; success in the future will require
digital-age literacy, inventive thinking, effective communication and high
productivity. Are we ready?
The Global Learner program is designed to
prepare students for the future, and to bring students, staff and parents
together through collaboration and responsive partnerships. We have chosen
three school-wide themes, addressing learning outcomes at all grade levels,
across subjects, and aimed at developing global awareness. Under the umbrella
themes of Children of the World, World Leaders & Leadership, and Global
Stewardship, students will take part in focused inquires which include
progressive learning outcomes focusing on 21st century skills.
