21st Century Projects @ The Elisabeth Morrow School

There is much discussion these days about what skills students will need to navigate their ever-changing world. At EMS, we believe that our founder showed much wisdom when she declared that we should embrace the best of the old and adopt the best of the new. Elisabeth Morrow built her school based on many of the skills that we now call "21st Century Skills". Project-based learning, inquiry, collaboration, problem-solving and creative-expression have been core elements of the school's philosophy since it was started over 75 years ago. Today we choose to introduce new technologies that augment these core objectives and open new doors to learning that were previously unavailable.

Students collaborate across grades in an exercise designed to develop media literacy skills.
