27J Schools: Brighton, Thornton, Commerce City

The mission of 27J Schools, with the support of the family and community, is to ensure that ALL students have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for present and future competence and success. ”This is the fundamental purpose of our work. Our mission drives teaching and learning across our system and frames the decisions that we make as a school district.

The student of today is the citizen, the worker, the parent and the leader of tomorrow. In the year 2038 our students of today will be engaged in society in ways that we cannot fully understand. Rapid technological advancement, the interconnectedness and the access to information has changed the landscape of work. Imagine…

What will the world be like in 2038? What jobs will exist? What skills will be needed? What attitudes will allow them to be successful in life 20 years after graduation?

And yet we must prepare them.
 

Their future compels us to employ a dynamic vision of teaching and learning. Our students need us and we are accountable. In 2038, acquiring information will have been replaced by a whole host of skills that will require a great deal more of our students than our traditional approach has offered.
