AAR-SJ is a course that does not fall under any standard discipline. It is currently only available to students participating in the Social Justice Pathway, although it is slowly being changed to include outside people.
Like the main AAR, AAR-SJ is centered around working on a single project for the year. Unlike AAR, AAR-SJ follows a different curriculum known as Changemakers.
