Creating  Overarching Questions is difficult.

The Overarching Question must raise an important philosophical question; resonate with each Eagle’s Hero’s Journey and bring together a year’s worth of learning for Elementary, Middle School and Launchpad Eagles.

After much discussion and debate with Eagles and Guides, our 2015-16 Overarching Question will be:

“Must a Hero conquer fear to find true love and understanding?”

What does “true love” mean?   Which true love matters most – love of self or Tribe? How do I cultivate a love of Science; Reading or Math that will last a lifetime?  Which fears must I conquer first?  How can I courageously speak of them and still feel safe and supported?

It will be a challenging year, on so many levels.
