The Broad Areas of Learning address the issues of our time and provide students with real-life contexts for learning.

There are five BALs: Health and Well-Being, Personal and Career Planning/Career Planning and Entrepreneurship, Environmental Awareness and Consumer Rights and Responsibilities, Media Literacy, and Citizenship and Community Life.

We currently have a resource listing for Citizenship and Community Life and a special section on Children's Rights and Related Issues.
