In the traditional education paradigm, linear curricula are divided into subjects, packaged for educators and delivered to standardized age cohorts. The focus is on imparting knowledge in long-established categories. Of course, the world outside of school is much more integrated, and the professional world is becoming even more so in an economy increasingly driven by technologies that are “fusing the physical, digital, and biological worlds impacting all disciplines, economies and industries and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.”
We believe that it is critical for students to view their learning – and subsequently, the construction of their identities – in a holistic way.
Interdisciplinary units that are more accurate reflections of how knowledge is applied in practice, and also allows for more relevant, hands-on, and inquiry-based experiences that connect students to the world around them in meaningful ways.
