Curriculum

Curriculum is the skills and knowledge that students are to learn.  it is the heart and the soul of the school program.  The learning goals and the underlying assumptions of the curriculum help to determine the classroom objectives, units, methods and strategies that become the day to day activity of students and teachers.
 
Curriculum defines what students learn, the focus and the format of learning, how students are challenged and assessed, what is expected of them.  Curriculum provides the underlying meaning and significance of learning.
 
In an information rich, technologically changing, complex world, curriculum programs must constantly be reexamined.  A challenging curriculum is the foundation for high quality educational programs.
