PIE Program Framework 2021-2022
While PIE and Community Classes intentionally plan different and complementary content coverage each year, those that are in both programs may have some overlap of topics from time to time. In that case, learners will be challenged to go deeper in those content areas or explore other areas of interest through project work as directed by the PIE teacher.
