Curriculum Documents
As prescribed by the State of Arizona, all students in grades K-5 are taught the core subjects of mathematics, reading, writing, language arts, science, and social studies by regular classroom teachers. Additionally, each class receives weekly instruction by specialists in art and music.
Each curriculum has been carefully designed to include the Arizona Department of Education Academic Standards, as well as the most current educational research information. Each year, a committee reviews an area of the curriculum and, in most cases, recommends new materials and/or textbooks. A 6-year cycle assures that all major and supplemental curricula are updated. The materials that are chosen enable teachers to match instruction with curriculum. Supplemental materials and programs are also reviewed and updated to provide more individualized instruction when needed.
