Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Arlington District Curriculum

These schools also use Accelerated Reading to help students progress beginning at the reading level that they are at. By middle school. Students are ready to move on to novel studies to open the students’ eyes to the worlds that reading can open to them. When they are in high school the students can choose to study different classes in literature. Some of the classes focus on US literature while others focus on literature from around the world.

Science is included with other subject matter, in the early years. Science may be seen in the different seasons as children learn their calendar skills. As they progress through higher grades science is studied on its own. At this time students learn laboratory investigations along with the critical thinking that is required of a scientist. They begin to make explorations, do research, work in groups and present projects. This readies them for high school when they will go into topics that are more in-depth, such as ecology, anatomy and physiology or chemistry.
