Carol Stream District and Curriculum
The area schools believe in engaging all students in problem-solving and critical thinking, in order to give them the capacity to construct knowledge, while connecting these ideas to real-world contexts in order to prepare students for a successful transition into post-secondary education and careers. The school follows the Common Core Curriculum in Mathematics and Language Arts which provides a coherent series of learning objectives to achieve these goals.
We currently cover the following Carol Stream-area school district: Elgin Area School District U46, Glenbard Township High School District 87, and Community Consolidated School District 93.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Carol Stream District Curriculum
The schools believe in providing all students with opportunities to take responsibility for their own learning by providing intervention strategies to address significant achievement gaps as well as creating personalized learning environments that address each student’s academic, social, and emotional needs. In the classroom, this means that teachers follow the Illinois Common Core curriculum for Mathematics and Language Arts. Though they have some flexibility in differentiating their lesson plans to suit the specific needs of students, the focus is on establishing a base of knowledge and growing it.
In English Language Arts, the focus is on analytical reading of nonfiction, complex texts for the purpose of gathering information, building arguments, and supporting these claims in both written work and in group discussions. The science curriculum is based on the Next Generation curriculum which emphasizes key concepts and real-world problem solving, starting with foundational concepts and then progressing to more complex skills and ideas.

Chalk Talk: Resume Do's and Don'ts
When it comes to a resume, many students are in uncharted territory. It can seem like a daunting task to distill ones activities and experience down to one page, but it’s not as difficult as it seems. Here are a few key ideas to remember about resumes: 1) It should be one page only, 2) The student’s name, contact information, and GPA should be at the top, usually centered, 3) Activities should be grouped under various themes such as “Community Service” and “Leadership” 4) Think about the content of each section you add. What will each item tell the admissions committee about you as a person and student? Students will often add activities that don’t serve much of a purpose. If an activity can demonstrate multiple qualities you have, then it’s probably much more useful to add, 5) Don’t pad it. Adding every club or sport you’ve ever been a part of might seem impressive, but awards, etc. in those clubs or athletics might be more useful.
