We see great evidence of transformative learning & engagement through developing a greater sense of vocation. We aim to highlight the dynamic interdependence of the hopes, needs, & passions of the learner with the local & global community & partners. When connected to actions, students become global citizens in a personal project space that calls for future-focused learning & change.
