The Connections Community inspires learners to understand and expand interests, strengths, and ability to grow and to discover connections between who I am now and who I want to become and to work interdependently with others for the perpetuation of a greater good.
In the Connections Community, learners are supported in their initial transition to Norris Academy. Upon enrollment, all learners begin the process of exploring and identifying personal strengths and needs. Learners complete multiple interactive activities and projects to help establish a better understanding of who they are as a learner, a citizen and a human. This knowledge is then applied and communicated so learners can be as successful as possible moving forward.
The Connections Community provides learning opportunities to develop key skills that will help learners develop a strong understanding of themselves as humans, citizens, and learners. They'll develop practices for learning, collaboration, and risk taking to explore interests, reflect and monitor skill attainment that they will use to prepare for success in a larger learning community and society as a whole.
