The document discusses the Trivium 21st C curriculum model and the National Baccalaureate program at Highbury Grove School. The Trivium model focuses on grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric to provide a curriculum that is rooted in tradition but also responds to change through academic, cultural, social, and artistic challenges. It also emphasizes authentic physical challenges. The National Baccalaureate requires students to complete three core A-Levels or BTECs, an extended project, and a 150-hour personal development program involving community, physical, creative and cultural activities. It also requires completion of 8 GCSEs including math and English.
