Curriculum
Curriculum includes the content and subject matter that focuses the work of the classroom. It describes what students will know and be able to do, and outlines of the best practices that teachers use to assure student learning.
Elementary curriculum
Our elementary handbooks outline the curriculum objectives of each grade level and are organized by subject matter. These handbooks also explain how students are evaluated on progress reports. Please refer to these handbooks throughout the school year when you have questions about expectations and requirements.
Middle school curriculum
We offer a transition guide for students entering sixth grade that also also introduces the concept of career pathways.
