Get started with SchoolTutoring Academy's tutoring programs for District Heights, Maryland students.
District Heights District and Curriculum
District Heights schools are in the process of completely switching over the new Common Core Curriculum Framework which is now the state mandated curriculum for Maryland. The new curriculum is evidence based and provides rigorous academic standards to ensure that all public schools in the State of Maryland meet standards for academic excellence and then build on those skills in the progressive academic program.
In the early grades, students learn the basics of reading and phonics, vocabulary and writing. An early emphasis is based on teaching students to critically analyze the reading material and be able to provide a summary and analysis of the material both in written form and orally. Through all grades, students are encouraged to apply what they reading and learning to the world around them. From middle school through high school, students are presented with challenging reading material from complex contemporary literature to the classics. Students are expected to be able to write cohesive well researched and documented compositions and reports. Public speaking is also part of the Language Arts curriculum all the way through the educational process.
We currently cover the following District Heights-area school district: Prince George’s County Public Schools.
