Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
– Nelson Mandela
Knowledgeable students explore concepts, ideas and issues that have local and global significance. In doing so, they acquire in-depth knowledge and develop understanding across a broad and balanced range of disciplines.
Knowledgeable students strive to:
- acquire, apply, and share knowledge
- build on prior knowledge
- research and gather information
- ask questions to deepen the understanding
- consider factors involved and consider failure as a part of learning
- read and listen to news to become familiar with current events
Knowledgeable students read books on topics being taught at school. They ask questions and make connections between the known and unknown. They are informed about the world around them.
