Core Competencies
The Core Competencies are the intellectual, interpersonal and emotional skills that all students need in order to engage in deep, lifelong learning and become productive global citizens.
​
The Core Competencies are interrelated and interdependent. Taken together, the competencies are foundational to every aspect of learning. The Core Competencies are universal so they manifest themselves in each area of learning, embedded within the curricular competencies of each subject in the curriculum.
