We teach tolerance in order for collaboration to happen within a global community. Job applicants of the future will be evaluated by their ability for communication, openness to, tolerance for unfamiliar cultures and ideas. To foster these critical skills, today's students will need open discussions and experiences to feel comfortable communicating with people of other cultures. We help students learn through their strengths, use learning beyond the classroom, and brain owners manual.
