ELEMENTARY CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION MISSION

The 3VCSD elementary curriculum provides a strong educational foundation that places our students on a firm trajectory toward post-secondary success in the workplace and/or institutions of higher education. This standards-based curriculum is a set of student goals and objectives designed to use a spiraling curriculum, reinforcing knowledge and skills learned as students progress from one grade level to the next.

The 3VCSD proposes that learning goals and objectives:

  1. Connect to the lives of the students it serves;

  2. Prepare students to make sense of the world in which they live and work;

  3. Contribute to the development of the total student faced with a rapidly developing, high-tech world.

CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION

The Three Village Elementary Curriculum is a blueprint for instruction grounded in a set of commonly held beliefs about the role of the curriculum in the educational process. The curriculum outlines a basic framework for the content of a program while instruction involves the decisions made by our professional teaching faculty for the delivery of that content.
