The students daily experience her path to achievement emerges from her relationship with the schools teachers and the content that is shared with her. Academics ensure that Schools have childrens learning at its core. Academics in each territory or program works with our shared services Academics Department including Instructional Design and Learning Innovation.

Academics works to ensure that we are deploying locally appropriate content aligned to the state or national syllabus; that we are carefully tracking the use of our instructional design materials and their efficacy; that we are evaluating the best use of the school day and school year; that we are measuring learning in each grade level in each school; that we are preparing children to succeed in state and national exams; and that we support graduates transitioning into secondary school. We keep childrens learning and development as our focus. We never waver from our belief that every child can learn and that schools are the centre of the social justice movement to end the generational transfer of poverty.
