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.

Beginning in the 2018-2019 School Year, DPSCD has adopted the EL Education Curriculum for our students!
We are excited about the training that began this summer and will continue throughout the school year. Students will be introduced to a research and standards-based curriculum, that provides high-interest grade level material. They will also have the opportunity to deepen their comprehension of the topics they're studying in small groups that meet their individual needs. How does this differ from past practices?
- Each grade level will study 4 topics throughout the school year.
- Students will read a combination of fiction and non-fiction text.
- Students will discuss their learning and collaborate with their peers.
- Reading and writing activities will include research and
- Common Core State Standards will be addressed in all learing objectives.
We're super excited to roll out our new program and will share more soon!
