KERA was based on six goals:

1. Students use basic communication and mathematics skills for purposes and situations they will encounter throughout their lives.
2. Students apply concepts and principles from mathematics, the sciences, the arts, the humanities, social studies, practical living studies, and vocational studies to what they will encounter throughout their lives.
3. Students develop their abilities to become self-sufficient individuals.
4. Students become responsible members of a family, work group, or community, including demonstrating effectiveness in community service.
5. Students think and solve problems in school situations and in a variety of situations they will encounter in life.
6. Students connect and integrate experiences and new knowledge from all subject matter fields with what they have previously learned, and build on past learning experiences to acquire new information through various media sources.
