Curriculum Overviews
English Track High School
Our program focuses on student needs in an American Common Core and Advanced Placement (AP) educational
setting. Such a system allows for a variety of different options to meet
high school graduation and college entrance requirements. We are confident that you will find our student activities and community service opportunities both challenging and refreshing.
HS ET was initiated and designed to help you develop what researchers call 21st-Century skills — those needed for success in universities, the constantly-evolving job-market, and life. These skills are so important to your future success that we have made them our Expected Student Learning Results (ESLRs)—communication, collaboration, self-directedness, as well as critical and creative thinking. They will be our touchstone for all teaching, learning, and assessment.
Outcome Expectations
By the time students leave our program, we hope they have become responsible, global citizens marked by integrity and excellence in every aspect of their lives. Besides gaining academic skills, such as note-taking and time-management, they should also have developed their critical thinking skills, and a sense of curiosity toward life and the world.
Common Core Standards
We assess students using the NWEA MAP test, which is conducted biannually. Our students complete the MAP tests for reading, language usage, and math so that the school can note their progress and better serve them as they move through our program.
