A Rich and Challenging Curriculum
Edison District Partnership schools use an absorbing curriculum that is built on classic liberal arts traditions but fully integrates the demands of the 21st century. District partnership students participate in a program that focuses on the essential academic disciplines, including: reading, writing, literature, mathematics through calculus, history, government, economics, the sciences, and social science. Students also enjoy an enriching program of fine arts, world language, health and fitness, and an emphasis on practical skills from technology to teamwork that are crucial to success in the workplace.
A successful education program must be designed around clear and demanding standards. Edison District Partnership’s curriculum is guided by academic standards—which meet or exceed all state standards—that specify what students must know and be able to do to satisfy goals and expectations.
Helping students develop into responsible citizens is an integral part of our partnership school curriculum. The Edison Core Values—wisdom, justice, courage, compassion, hope, respect, responsibility, and integrity—provide the basis for each partnership school’s character and ethics curriculum and student management system that help contribute to building a positive learning environment.
Through the use of carefully chosen trade books and literature selections at every grade level, teachers foster cultural awareness and understanding as students explore various values, customs, and lifestyles.
