Learning Objectives

Our curriculum is designed to support 3 key objectives:

  1. Belonging & Connection: Creating lifelong friendships between our students, and creating meaningful bonds between our students and their communities and families.

  2. Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy: Teaching every subject — from STEM to sports — through hands-on activities and stories of the past and present, so that students can value their histories and heritage.

  3. Inclusion, Equity, & Action: Building an inclusive, secular, equity-centered environment for students to explore their home cultures alongside those with both similar and different experiences, with a focus on creating communities of justice and peace.
