Standard 12

Standard 12 - School/program provides high quality STEAM courses and curriculum aligned to recognized standards and organized into interdisciplinary frameworks.

Integrating our standards into daily instruction is crucial to our success as an International Baccalaureate PYP and STEAM school. Aligned and driven by the Georgia Standards of Excellence, our units of study are organized in a meaningful and authentic way to spark student inquiry and problem-solving initiatives. Our STEAM program is driven by the central ideas and lines of inquiry in these planners. All STEAM inquiry relates and expands upon these key elements. Teachers and support team collaborate to review and internalize the unit of study before facilitating learning, during the unit, and reflect upon learning after to make sure we are providing high quality interdisciplinary teaching to our students.  

As a way to measure teacher facilitation and curriculum success, teachers and support team also review students reflections at the end of every unit of study. This gives opportunity to reflect upon how well the students processed and understood the curriculum that was being delivered in an interdisciplinary framework.
