Vision

Education in the 21st Century must prepare students for the information era. Rote learning and static funds of knowledge can no longer represent the goal of education. Students will need to be able to connect their understanding to historical themes and patterns and project their actions and conclusions into the future. Schools must stimulate and prepare students to be lifelong learners who are able to effectively access and synthesize new information, master disciplinary domains and, arguably most importantly, integrate knowledge across disciplinary boundaries.

Founded in 1996, the Ross Institute for Advanced Study and Innovation in Education was established to promote understanding of the implications of globalization for pre-collegiate education. It serves to bring together leading scholars, educators and policy makers in order to incubate new ideas and act as a catalyst for educational change. The Ross Institute is closely affiliated with Ross Lab School and is a not-for-profit research organization dedicated to exploring and applying innovation to pre-collegiate education and building links between pre-collegiate and tertiary educators.

From its inception, the Ross Institute for Advanced Study and Innovation in Education has been interested in fostering basic research, evaluation and dissemination in the development of its ‘Interdisciplinary Curriculum for Cultural Understanding’; as well as the uses of media, communication and technology in Education; the significance of well-being and nutrition in Show More
