Our Academics & Electives
-
We draw upon the expertise of our educators and work together to create models of outstanding achievement in every classroom. Through implementing high-quality instructional materials and transforming the academic culture in our schools, we challenge and inspire our students to thrive in the world. With a wide variety of academics and enrichment opportunities aligned with state standards, we support students in unlocking their potential as they extend their skills and talents beyond the classroom. Our core curriculum includes:
- Bilingual Education - We are committed to English Language Development for students beginning in early childhood by implementing English literacy instructional frameworks that prepare families to become independent readers and writers in English.
- English Language Arts - We are committed to nurturing and developing a strong literacy foundation for all students in the early school years by implementing literacy instructional frameworks that prepare students to become independent readers and writers.
- Math - The mathematics curriculum seeks to ensure mathematical competence and confidence in students in mathematics-rich classroom environments.
- Science - Classroom experiences in science are connected to real-world phenomena and provide opportunities to engage in science and engineering practices through exposure to STEM-related career pathways.
- Social Studies - Students gain the content knowledge, intellectual skills, and core democratic values necessary for fulling their civic duties in a participatory democracy and effectively engaging in our global society.
- World Languages - Students develop effective communication in at least one world language other than English as well as cultural competence to help all our students become better-equipped global citizens.

Mann maintains the highest level of academic opportunity at every grade level. The success of our programs is ultimately confirmed by the success of your children as they move from grade to grade. We diligently work with fidelity to address all learning styles with intervention and rigorous curriculums adopted for the 2018-2019 school year. We strive to provide your children with an education that will prepare them for the 21st Century. All content and instructions are designed with these essential components:
Academic Rigor
Academic Rigor is the intentional aligned components of curriculum that provide clear learning outcomes with matching assessment, engaging learning experiences, and instructional strategies organized into sequenced units of study that serve as a detailed map and a high-quality delivery system.
Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking is the acquired skill of gathering, organizing, and testing, and using information. It is a key component of every class at Mann Learning Community that can grow student potential. We challenge our students to think for themselves and develop their own power.
Differentiation
Differentiation is a state-of-the art teaching technique that helps teachers to ignite the potential in every student. Small group instructions are provided for each subject, with each group of students receiving assignments that are challenging and inspire them to aim higher.
If you'd like to see examples of our rigorous academic curriculum at your child's grade level, please see our newly adopted resources at Great Minds for Math and EL Education for English Language Arts.
