Curriculum encompasses the performance competencies that inform what we teach and how we teach it, including the learning experiences and instructional and assessment practices that ensure all of our students will be college and career ready.
Curriculum is comprised of questions that are posed to students as the foundation for their inquiry. Curriculum is also comprised of high quality learning experiences that engage students through an inquiry-based approach.
When teachers, administrators, and students come together to write curriculum, they follow NPS curriculum model of design, which supports all aspects of teaching and learning.
Our curriculum development reaches its pinnacle when learning is aligned to and aims for the Vision of the Graduate. To insure our students have opportunities to practice being that vision, we follow a Know-Do-Be philosophy. We plan for and build understanding around what students need to know, need to do, and need to be in order to achieve success.
