Approaches to learning (ATL) are trans-disciplinary skills that are developed in students from primary years through the diploma program. ATL skills enable students to become stronger, self-regulated learners and lifelong learners. These skills include communication, social/collaboration, self-management, research, thinking, and transferring skills across disciplines. Developing ATL skills helps students take responsibility for their own learning by increasing their awareness of how they learn best and improving their use of learning strategies.
