With globalization, the internet, and remote working positions
allowing and requiring people from all over the world to work
together to achieve a common goal, it is imperative for people
to understand other cultures to be successful.
Our goal is to provide a world class education for every
student that will prepare students to meet the challenges of a
global 21st century.
Mission & Vision
Teachers will use the Arizona state standards for History and
Social Science, English Language Arts, Mathematics, and
Science standards to build divergent thinkers using concept
based and personalized learning to create lifelong, global
learners.
Students will experience learning the Mandarin language with
exposure in the primary grades and full language exploration
beginning in 5th grade.

• Statement of Inquiry: We can use statistical analysis to describe patterns and
relationships, and use statistical evidence to represent commonality and data
trends.
• Inquiry Questions: Students will use trends in collected data to explore
commonality.
• Factual Question: What is a statistic?
• Conceptual Question: How can different graphical analysis tools be utilized
to address matters such as how many, at what time, how much, how to
compare?
• Debatable Question: Is one type of graphical analysis better than another? If
we can’t measure it, does it really exist?
• Global Content Exploration: Globalization and sustainability - Students will
use trends in collected data to explore commonality.
