Lake Forest District and Curriculum

The districts curriculum strives to produce students who are responsible individuals, who demonstrate ethical behavior in all situations and accept responsibility for their actions, and who demonstrate positive choices for physical and emotional health. Students are encouraged to be collaborative workers who treat themselves and others with respect, are capable of working within a variety of groups to achieve their goals while assuming various roles effectively in a cooperative setting. Students should be socially responsible citizens who demonstrate respect for individuals, cultures, races, and genders.

We currently cover the following Lake Forest-area school districts: Lake Forest CHSD 115, Lake Forest SD 67, and Rondout SD 72.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lake Forest District Curriculum

One curricular goal is for students to be able to accept constructive criticism within these groups and manage and evaluate their own behavior as a group member. Community involvement is deemed very important, and the hope is that students will act responsibly, participate in community service, and exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship on a local level and in the global environment.

The curriculum is intended to produce students who are capable of utilizing a wealth of knowledge across various topics. Students are taught comprehensive research skills, and how to access information for different subject areas, so that they can college data, analyze it, and use it to support their theses when writing analytical essays. Therefore, students read complex, nonfiction texts for comprehension and synthesis. It is hoped that students will take responsibility for their own learning.

Chalk Talk: Test Optional Applications

Despite the growing movement among colleges to adopt test-optional applications, it’s difficult to put together a list of colleges that doesn’t include some that require standardized tests, especially if you’re applying for a specific program. Test-optional applications also usually require something in lieu of standardized tests, such as a graded written exam (i.e. an essay) or an interview. This is because the research which shows that standardized tests don’t necessarily determine a student’s viability in college DO show that the essay portion of these exams does help reflect a student’s viability. Some test-optional colleges supply their own additional essay prompt. As for interviews, those are a good idea, regardless. Some colleges only offer test-optional applications to students whose GPA is above a certain level. Test-optional applications are a great idea, but since so few schools offer them, standardized testing is still a necessity for most students.
