Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Pontiac District Curriculum

In English classes, students read nonfiction as well as novels and write analytical essays using material they have gathered from their reading, evaluated, and arranged in order to support their thesis. In history classes, they analyze historical texts and accounts in order to understand the significance not only of historical occurrences and the reactions to those occurrences, but also their relevance today. In math classes, students learn foundational concepts which are thoroughly explored so that students are well prepared to understand complex ideas.

The science curriculum is based on the Next Generation Science Standards, which stress exploration of the physical world and real-world applications whenever possible. The school believes that students who learn to think critically and apply their learning to the world around them will become engaged learners who take responsibility for their education.

Chalk Talk: How To Find Scholarships

Applicants are often automatically considered for merit scholarships, or scholarships based on the students’ past performance, but if they aren’t, students are often unaware of these opportunities. Likewise, colleges may offer scholarships based on demographic information, often based on the applicant’s background. The college’s website should explain these, and financial aid departments are a good resource as well. But there are other scholarships that can be tricky to find. Many businesses offer scholarships which aren’t always advertised. It’s a good idea for friends and family of applicants to inquire at their work about any opportunities. Similarly, social organizations such as the Elks or Kiwanis’s club and religious organizations might offer scholarships to families who are members. Some businesses offer scholarships based on athletic prowess or special interests. Finding these can be difficult, and word of mouth is often the best way, but there are also websites that can help, such as College Board and Fast Web.
