Curriculum

The curriculum will be unquestionably a core strength of the learning experience for our students. Developed by curriculum experts who use high-quality, age-appropriate resources from leading print and online publishers, the rigorous curriculum supports 21st century readiness by engaging students in their ability to reason, be resilient, and become responsible for their learning. Each course in the curriculum is aligned to state and/or national standards, such as the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), International Association for K–12 Online Learning (INACOL) standards for online learning, and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). It aligns and meets Michigan grade-level and content standards and expectations.
