Academics
To thrive in the current century, students need to master a more complex set of skills than ever before. While the traditional skills and competencies of foundational literacies such as math and the humanities are critical, current research and experience tell us that they are not enough. To that end, we created four cross-disciplinary literacies that are interwoven into curriculum. We challenge students to see all literacies not as silos, but rather as interrelated systems that reflect the complexity of the real world.
