MOSAICA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL HYDERABAD

Preparing Students for the 21st Century:

Lessons for Our School To prepare our students for the future, our schools

certainly need to continue to provide a rigorous

background in core academic subjects. But todays

schools must go further. A truly outstanding school

curriculum for the 21st

century must not only help

students build a solid foundation of knowledge in

language, arts, math, science, civics, and technology, it

must also help students develop broad competencies in

critical thinking, cooperation, and communication,

equipping them for success in college, in the workplace,

and in life.

By helping students to cultivate and develop their

broadest spectrum of abilities, we can prepare each one

to excel in the decades to come.

one idea, event, or practice builds on and evolves into

others; and, it illustrates how sweeping cycles repeat and

build, leading students to understand the evolutions of

world cultures.
