Areas of Interaction

These five Areas of Interaction serve as lenses through which each subject area focuses its content. Because the five Areas are in all subject areas, students begin to see the links between them.

Approaches to Learning - seeks to teach students the skills needed to be successful in school such as organizing, researching, collaboration and communication.

Human Ingenuity - emphasizes both the positive and negative impacts of how the human mind has shaped our world.

Environments - asks students to think about the ways humans interact with the world at large and the part we play in it.

Community and Service - challenges students to identify their communities (large or small) and seek to find ways in which they may serve these communities.

Health and Social Education - delves into the physical, mental, emotional and social well-being of individuals and communities.
