Instruction

Instruction is based on the belief that the basics are essential. The primary focus of instruction is on the development and application of reading, writing, and mathematics skills. Students also learn basic concepts in science and social studies. Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on students becoming independent learners and problem solvers. Learning is enhanced through the use of technology.

Committees, composed of teachers, and administrators, continually evaluate the curriculum and make recommendations for improvement to the Board of Education to ensure quality programs. Some of the special components of the instructional program include:

  • Fine arts instruction in music, art, and drama to all students. Numerous opportunities in fine arts continue in the junior high, and high school program.
  • Instruction in physical education. Intramural and interscholastic activities are open to students in the upper elementary grades and junior high, and high school.
  • Computer literacy instruction, beginning in the first grade and continuing through high school.
  • Foreign language, consumer education, and enrichment instruction in high school.
  • Environmental, career, and health/safety/drug education instruction for all students.
