Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID, is a college preparatory program. The mission of the program is to prepare all students for success in a global society by exposing them to and supporting them in rigorous curriculum.

Cambridge Primary Science, for grades K -5, combines a world-class curriculum with high-quality support for teachers and integrated assessment. The curriculum is dedicated to helping schools develop learners who are confident, responsible, reflective, innovative and engaged.

Cambridge Science Lower Secondary, for grades 6-8, is a curriculum framework that covers four content areas: scientific enquiry, biology, chemistry and physics. Scientific enquiry is about considering ideas, evaluating evidence, planning investigative work, and recording and analysing data.

Project Lead the Way Launch students learn through exploration and discovery. Through PLTW Launch (grades K-5), students become hands-on problem solvers and learn to collaborate with their fellow students.

Project Lead the Way Gateway (grades 6-8) students engage in hands-on, collaborative problem solving focused on real-world challenges, and use and stretch their imaginations in brand-new ways to connect their learning to life.

ESE promotes an atmosphere of acceptance and belonging with the use of supports and adaptations to make the general education classroom is accessible to ALL!

STEM Design Challenge – Elementary School is a weekly resource class that teaches students the engineering process through the presentation of challenges or problems using both fictional and nonfictional literature connections.

STEM Design Challenge – Middle School is a daily resource class that challenges students to become “engineers”.

Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports (PBiS) is to help parents and school staff create and maintain a safe, supportive, learning environment, promote positive life skills, and reduce negative behaviors so that all children can succeed in school.
