At MCCPS, we promote the integration of knowledge and its application to everyday life with thematically planned units based on essential questions and understanding goals. To date, the MCCPS faculty has developed seven global themes, each with its own set of essential questions and understanding goals. These themes are an effective vehicle to ensure integration of knowledge across disciplines and application of knowledge to everyday life. At the conclusion of each 13-week trimester, all students are required to exhibit a variety of interdisciplinary exhibition projects as part of their academic evaluation. These projects are designed and developed by interdisciplinary teams of teachers to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, connect to real-life experiences, and cultivate essential skills and habits. Exhibition projects are geared toward enhancing academic success, encouraging productive attitudes, and developing habits of lifelong learning.
