Ben shared the curriculum that is experiential, learner-focused and based on these 7 MS competencies:
>> Self-Assessor: in health, mind, spirituality and organization
>> Contributor: through empathy and understanding; making a difference to the surrounding world
>> Creator: being an innovator, designer and maker of new things
>> Communicator: with compassion through oral, written, visual, musical, non-verbal and dance.
>> Collaborator: team member, leading and negotiating, sharing
>> Explorer: showing curiosity, taking risks and experimenting
>> Thinker: creative, critical, analytical, broad minded
