Technology has been incorporated into the curriculum and courses are developed around active learning, non-routine problem solving, and rigorous exploration. Elementary and middle school teachers have worked with administrators and expert consultants to increase the conceptual understanding of numerical concepts. At the middle school level, algebra and geometry are offered for those mathematically-able students who have a strong interest in pursuing advanced work. The high school program offers a wide variety of courses including Advanced Placement courses in calculus and electives in probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics. Three years are required.
Most students study at least four years of math.
The use of technology is integrated into the appropriate courses. The elementary science curriculum is based on the Content Standards. Both the science content and process standards are incorporated into the district commitment to a constructivist approach to elementary science reinforced through staff development, instructional expectations, and evaluation instruments. At the middle school level, students are offered courses in general, life and earth science, with environmental issues integrated into the courses. Problem solving, decision making and inquiry skills are developed through conducting systematic observations, interpreting and analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and communicating results.
