At Academica Media, we believe that education must go beyond the curriculum. That's why this week Lily has on two amazing principals from the Academica network: Carlos Alvarez from the City of Hialeah Educational Academy and Idalia Suarez from Somerset City Arts Conservatory. Retouching on the theme of grit, they go into how they as principals make sure that students believe in themselves and pursuing their passions, but also how they work with their teachers to make sure that this goes hand-in-hand with curriculum in the classroom. And if there's one thing they're sure about: it starts at the top.
