Personal and Social Responsibility

Personal and social responsibility entails students cultivating an understanding of making conscientious and sustainable choices in their local and global communities. This requires the capacity to assess one's own values, beliefs, and priorities while simultaneously acknowledging and considering those of others to assess the potential consequences of actions. To achieve this, students will employ critical thinking, inquiry, and actively engage with various perspectives and resources. Through social involvement, coupled with reflection and evaluation, they will enhance their ability to make responsible and sustainable decisions, both in their personal lives and within the broader scope of their community and beyond.

OUTCOME

Students will seek information, evaluate its accuracy, reliability, and significance, and use it appropriately and ethically to achieve a goal.
