Alsip District and Curriculum
By fostering a safe, nurturing, and fair environment, the schools strive to encourage and enable all students to thrive in diverse learning community with opportunity for growth and a focus on real-life problems in order to inspire students to prepare for the future and contribute to our ever evolving world. The curriculum follows the Illinois Common Core Standards for math and English language arts and the Next Generation Science Standards, which focuses on key concepts in order to impart an educational foundation that prepares students for secondary education and employment no matter the student’s educational needs.
We currently cover the following Alsip-area school districts: Atwood Heights School District 125, Cook County School District 130, and District 126.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Alsip District Curriculum
The elementary curriculum begins by introducing students to the building blocks of all core subjects. They learn how to investigate scientific phenomenon, how to read for information and for pleasure, and different ways to solve math problems such as looking for patterns. In middle school, these skills become more complex and students are increasingly challenged in their learning.
Humanities classes emphasize reading complex nonfiction texts and writing analytical essays, rather than having students read fiction and poetry and write creatively. The Common Core favors reading nonfiction and analytical writing to teach students to be critical readers and persuasive writers. The Common Core Standards for humanities classes strive to teach research skills as well as teaching students to use evidence to support their theses when writing. Mathematics and science classes are rigorous and focus on a smaller ranger of foundational topics each school year so that students master these before moving on.

Chalk Talk: Early Decision vs. Early Action
Distinguishing between these two forms of applications can be confusing because of their similar names and similar attributes, but there are a few key differences. Early Decision (ED) applications are early, binding applications. A common deadline is November 1st, which is much earlier than the February 1st deadline for many regular decision applications. “Binding” means that students must sign a contract stating that they’ll definitely attend this college no matter what, if accepted. Early Action (EA) are nonbinding, early applications. A common deadline is November 15th, which is later than ED but still much earlier than regular applications. Acceptance rates for ED and EA applications can be much higher because there are fewer applicants applying, and those who do are often strong students, and both of these application types demonstrate to the college a lot of positive qualities.
