Garden City District and Curriculum

The district curricula are comprehensive in nature, ensuring that students acquire academic, social, emotional and physical skills they need to be informed, actively engaged and healthy citizens. Core academics are emphasized and standards are in place so that students can achieve at the Honors level, if they desire. The frameworks for world languages and technology have also broadened in recent years to provide students more opportunities in next generation subjects. The district has a goal that all students succeed in their post-secondary pursuits, and provide the courses necessary to prepare students for work and learning.

We currently cover the following Garden City-area school district: Garden City Public Schools.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Garden City District Curriculum

The district’s curriculum models state and national common core curriculum standards. Through differentiated instruction and a critical thinking focus, a strong foundation in reading, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies is built. In middle school, students may take advanced courses in English, mathematics, and science as well as numerous electives in orchestra, band, music, fine arts, and performing arts.

The Freshman Academy follows a Learning Community concept, continuing to assist students in the mastery of core curriculum while providing multiple elective opportunities. Individualized attention is given to students needing remediation or enrichment, and staff work to bond with all students to learn their interests and help them select a career path. Once students graduate from the Freshman Academy, they may follow one of three high school paths of learning: School of Arts and Communication, School of Trade and Health Sciences, or School of Public Service. Students participate in classes that prepare them for their career of choice and develop career readiness skills.

Chalk Talk: Being Your Child’s Biggest Advocate

No one knows your child like you do, so as s/he progresses through school, it is important that you do everything necessary to ensure that your child’s unique needs are addressed by the educational system. First, create a good relationship with their teachers, as these are the people who spend the majority of the day with your child. Learn the curriculum and the expectations that will be placed on your child and work at home daily to reemphasize what is being taught during the day. Volunteer in the classroom when possible to see what occurs in your child’s class so you know the type of learning environment and how the teacher interacts with his/her students. Most importantly, if your child is struggling or is excelling far beyond what is being taught, discuss your concerns with the teacher and school specialists to determine what best can be done to meet their needs. Schools have many resources to assist your child, and it is your duty to ensure they are utilized. By being a presence in the school and insisting on personalized instruction and differentiation for your child, s/he will feel success in learning.
