21ST CENTURY LEARNING

CREATING A COLLABORATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL LEARNERS.

We believe that every student has a right to an education that prepares them for further education and future employment, and develops the skills that they must have as citizens of the 21st Century: creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. As a 21st century district, we will ensure that every student in every class will have the opportunity to learn in an engaging environment reflective of the world that surrounds them.

The 21st Century Learning Initiative will help prepare students for an ever-changing world that sees technological advancements happening at a rapid rate and is committed to preparing them for whatever path they choose after high school. We view the use of electronic resources as central to the delivery of our educational program and we expect that all students will use electronic resources as an essential part of their leaning experiences.
