Westchester District and Curriculum

The districts strives to produce strong, well-rounded students who are quipped to challenge the future. Students are taught to understand and apply a core body of knowledge and skills across the curriculum and to take responsibility for their own learning. Students also learn to treat themselves and others with respect when working within groups. They are taught to demonstrate ethical behavior, accept responsibility for their own actions, demonstrate positive choices for physical and emotional health, and act as socially responsible citizens. As such, they demonstrate respect for individuals, cultures, races, and genders and act responsibly towards others.

We currently cover the following Westchester-area school districts: Proviso Township High School District and Westchester Public Schools.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Westchester District Curriculum

In mathematics and science classes, students use critical and analytic thinking to solve problems, evaluating and refining strategies for problem solving. They are also offered opportunities to apply their acquired knowledge to real-life experiences whenever possible. Students are expected to use resources, technology, and time effectively and efficiently and to monitor their own progress through self-evaluation.

In humanities classes, students learn to read for comprehension, interpretation and analysis. They use a variety of techniques to collect, organize, analyze, and retain information for us in essays as supporting evidence for different audiences. They learn how to recognize tone and to control their own in their writing. Students learn to be effective communicators who hold critical discussion, write clearly and coherently, and demonstrate good listening skills.

Chalk Talk: Early Action vs. Regular Decision

There are several different types of college applications, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. Early Action (EA) is one of the most common. The deadline is earlier than many other application types, often November 15th. Colleges tend to respond fairly quickly as well, often as quickly as a month, so that students might have a decision by the end of the calendar year. Since it is early, the applicant is competing against fewer students, which improves his/her odds. Also, because the student was willing to submit an early application, the college tends to look favorably on the student. EA applications won’t benefit the student as much as some other types, but they also don’t carry the drawbacks of some other types of applications. EA applications are nonbinding, for example, which means the student doesn’t have to commit to the college until s/he is ready to.
