Metacognition
Critical thinking & problem solving
TBS students learn to collect, assess, and analyze relevant information. Graduates are able to use systems thinking to reason effectively. They identify, define, and solve authentic problems and essential questions. They reflect critically on learning experiences, processes, and solutions.
Creativity & innovation
TBS graduates demonstrate originality and inventiveness. They adapt according to real world limits and use a wide range of idea creation techniques.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
TBS graduates communicate effectively in diverse environments for a range of purposes (e.g. to inform, instruct, motivate, and persuade.)
social & cross-cultural skills
TBS graduates respect cultural differences and work effectively with people from a range of backgrounds. They understand the benefit social and cultural differences afford in the creation of new ideas and enhancement of innovation and quality of work.
Resilience
TBS graduates can adapt to varied roles, jobs, responsibilities, schedules, and contexts. They work effectively in climates of ambiguity and changing priorities. They’re able to incorporate feedback effectively and deal positively with praise, setbacks, and criticism.
civic engagement
Students graduate with the academic skills and personal qualities necessary to be successful in high school, college, and – most important – in the rest of their lives. We develop those qualities in a schoolwide context of civic engagement to ensure that graduates will use their skills and qualities to make a positive difference for their communities – now and in the future.
