Planning for Rigor, Engagement, and Mastery

Whittier is very passionate about planning, preparing, and supporting all students to be college, career, and life ready.  Our staff is very intentional about providing students with engaging and relevant learning experiences that are connected to real world learning in which students collaboratively problem solve, use critical thinking skills, and apply their knowledge to solve complex problems.  We also emphasize the key characteristics of perseverance and grit so that students develop the capacity to work through difficult situations and to never give up.  These are attributes that will help all students succeed at Whittier and in life.
