Reinventing Our High School Curriculum for the Age of AI and Sustainability

In this talk, we will spotlight how our accredited online high school has chosen a pioneering approach to education, moving away from traditional exam-centric qualifications. Instead, our learners engage in interdisciplinary challenges that foster whole-human development. We have developed our own unique credit framework, informed by the most in-demand skills in the age of AI. Our advanced-level curriculum in grades 11 and 12 is centered around the theme of "Creating a Sustainable Future," providing learners with the tools and knowledge to address global challenges. This exciting alternative showcases how other schools can also reimagine their curriculum to better prepare learners for today's dynamic world. Join us to explore how we can collectively reimagine high school curriculum to meet the needs of the future.
