How we define success
Critical thinking
The ability to break down complex issues and establish inter-relationships between the parts by building conceptual understanding rather than strictly factual knowledge. Students should focus on taking their learning to the next level by understanding the “how” and “why” behind the concepts, not simply memorizing facts.
Self-Learning
The ability to build one’s own learning system and develop the intrinsic motivation to become a life-long learner. Students are given the tools to master creating structure in lees structured environments, to learn, to focus, to meet deadlines, and to reach goals.
Creativity
The ability to identify patterns and ask “what if” questions to create solutions or make improvements. Finding alternatives for what is accepted as the status quo and initiating change are encouraged.
Collaboration
The ability to work effectively and efficiently with other while building strong negotiation, leadership, communication, and collaboration skills. Developing the emotional intelligence to navigate interpersonal relationships productively and empathetically is key.
Resiliency
The ability to develop a grit-based mindset with the understanding that setbacks are opportunities to practice overcoming obstacles. There are no “failures” at the Accelerator School; every experience offers a chance to learn and improve.
