It’s having a mind oriented toward the future; seeing a bigger picture beyond what is actually being taught in the present.

“… the faculty at the Laboratory Schools are carefully chosen not just for their expertise but “because of their character and because they believe that education can make a difference in how human beings treat each other.”
