Curriculum
The Curriculum Department features a team of content supervisors who have the “big picture” view and can make sure that concepts are covered in a relevant way and that the curriculum builds effectively from year-to-year – offering our students all the academic skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in the future.
The curriculum serves as a living document that can continually evolve in response to student and societal needs. With embedded 21st Century Skills (such as communication, collaboration and active participation) and authentic real-world experiences, course offerings foster skills and attitudes that enable children to think critically, creatively and constructively – and gives our students the tools they need to be ready for college and a career.
In addition to monitoring and refining what students learn in the classroom, the Curriculum Department also studies best practices in lesson delivery and design and administers a strategic award-winning professional development program for staff.
