Berwyn District and Curriculum
The Berwyn districts’ curriculum is based on the Illinois Common Core standards. The Science curriculum is based on the Next Generation standards for students in kindergarten through the 12th grade. Similar to the Common Core, NGSS is a rigorous, internationally benchmarked curriculum intended to teach science and engineering in such as way as to give students a solid foundation for their college educational needs and for their career.
We currently cover the following Berwyn-area school districts: North Berwyn School District 98 and South Berwyn School District 100.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Berwyn District Curriculum
In Mathematics, the Common Core curriculum encourages teachers to pursue a greater depth of instruction while focusing on fewer topics within a school year. Beginning at the elementary school level, these standards emphasize basic concepts such as number and operations so that students master the foundations of mathematics before moving onto more advanced topics in high school.
The Language Arts curriculum also follows the Common Core. The standards focus on nonfiction reading and analytical writing in teaching students how to be critical readers and writers. The emphasis is on reading nonfiction and more complex texts to develop students’ ability to gather information and use evidence to support their claims while also expanding their vocabularies. Students continue to read fiction and write creatively, but the emphasis is not on these topics.

Chalk Talk: How to Choose a College
One of the most important things a student can do when choosing a college is to visit the actual colleges to which s/he intends to apply. It might sound obvious, but many students skip this step, relying on name recognition and ranking of colleges. Visits are easy to set up; most colleges have calendars on their websites that show when visits are offered. Sometimes, students don’t even have to register and can just show up. Stepping onto a college campus and experiencing the tone of the school can be very informative for students. Some liken the feeling to stepping into a first house or sitting behind the wheel of a first car; students often can tell, instinctively, whether a college is a good fit for them, but these instincts are informed by real, tangible considerations. Even aesthetic considerations might affect a student’s decision to attend. Whether the campus feels warm and welcoming or more formal can have a real impact on a student.
