Competency-Based System

Personalized Learning in Your Child’s School​

​The Westminster Public Schools Competency Based System (CBS) presents knowledge and skills as a series of blocks that build up on each other. Students show that they have mastered one block—called a learning target—before moving on to the next. Within each content area, there is a collection of learning targets that make up a performance level. Students complete all of the learning targets within one performance level before moving on to the next level. To graduate, students complete 12 performance levels in each content area.​
