School program options Advanced Placement: Advanced Placement (AP) courses provide students the opportunity to take college-level courses and exams while enrolled in high school. AP courses are college courses, utilizing the same text and requirements as those that are taught in the university, delivered by district faculty.

Alternative Program/School: Specialized assistance for students requiring nontraditional learning environments.

Arts and Technology Schools: Curriculum is delivered through a focus on arts and technology using visual, literary, and performing arts projects along with technology.

Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID): AVID is an elementary through postsecondary college readiness system that is designed to increase school-wide learning and performance using methods based in effective instruction.

Bilingual/Dual Language Immersion: Programs offered feature a dual language instructional method with 50 percent of teaching occurring in English and 50 percent in Spanish.

Charter School: These schools are publicly funded but operate separately from public schools. They are designed to provide unique educational opportunities and held accountable through monitoring of academic results. See http://www.nea.org/ home/16332.htm for more information.

Concurrent Enrollment: Concurrent enrollment in college courses gives students the opportunity to graduate from high school with college credits through a partnership with local colleges. Eligible students are able to take college courses while still in high school either on the high school campus or at the local college. Programs vary and are based on eligibility.

Core Knowledge: The Core Knowledge Sequence is based on the concept that what children are able to learn at any given moment depends upon what they already know, which in turn is a function of previous experience and teaching. The Core Knowledge Sequence presents a specific and sequential academic learning process for students to build knowledge and skills from year to year.

Expeditionary Learning: Expeditionary learning is a non-traditional, hands-on, experiencedbased approach to learning. It is based on the idea that students learn more by experiencing the world around them.

Students engage in interdisciplinary, indepth study of compelling topics, in groups and in their community, with assessment coming through cumulative projects, public presentations, and portfolios.

International Baccalaureate (IB): A school with official International Baccalaureate status is known as an IB World School. IB schools follow a vigorous curriculum that develops internationally minded learners who take action to make a positive impact on the world.

IB students ask questions, think critically, construct their own meaning, and reflect on their learning. High school students may earn college credit based on their IB exam scores.

Leader in Me: The Leader in Me program is an innovative, school-wide model that emphasizes a culture of student empowerment and helps unleash each child’s full potential. It is based on Stephen Covey’s book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.® Magnet/Lab School: These schools offer traditional curriculum while allowing students interested in the school’s special focus to pursue it to a greater depth. Many magnet schools integrate their magnet focus into all subjects.

Online/Hybrid Learning: This hybrid alternative to traditional school may appeal to students who learn best through blended instruction—a combination of online and on campus. Students are able to work at his or her academic level and learning pace.

Private School: Private schools are funded primarily through tuition, rather than relying on public tax dollars, and therefore choose their own educational methods.

Project-Based Learning: Project-Based Learning is an instructional approach built on authentic learning experiences, which naturally engage student interest and motivation. Projects are designed to answer a relevant question or solve a real problem that reflects the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world.

Science, Technology, Engineering, (Art), and Math (STEM/STEAM): STEM offers a framework for teaching the interconnected nature of the various disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, (Arts) and Math as it is practiced and experienced in the real world. Grounded in standards-based curriculum, these programs incorporate problem solving, critical thinking, scientific reasoning, inquiry, and innovation into the application of learning.
