We are brimming at the edge of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and ultimately educate our children. The speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent and it is estimated that 65% of children entering elementary school will have jobs that do not yet exist.
With an education system rooted in the Industrial Revolution, educators are faced with the unique challenge of grooming students with an alternate skill set needed for the modern world.
So how do we educate and prepare our children for a future of the unknown?
…by focusing on the ability to learn for oneself. Students embark on projects that challenge them to ask more questions, test theories, experience failure, refine processes, and collaborate with their peers. The result is continued excitement around learning, elevated strategic thinking, refined problem solving skills, thicker skin to tolerate errors and mistakes, and a deep sense of empathy.
In the heart of Tribeca, we’re an independent school for grades K-8.
