In modern education, one-size-fits-all activities are being replaced by student-driven learning opportunities that support specific areas of need and foster individual areas of passion. By reflecting on our personal learning journey, we strengthen it. By sharing it, we light the spark of curiosity and passion in others. This approach is a purposeful and important step on the path to empowering ACS students to "shape and define their future" (from the ACS Mission).
