to a student’s academic foundation, but an excellent education includes much more. Students should also have access to science, social studies, the arts, music, athletics, clubs, and other experiences that make learning engaging and help them discover and develop their interests and talents. As students progress through school, they should have opportunities to challenge themselves academically, explore their interests, and prepare for what comes next. A well-rounded education brings these experiences together, giving students the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need for college, careers, and the future they envision for themselves.
