Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Des Peres District Curriculum
Students receive a comprehensive, rigorous, and competitive curriculum, with clearly defined expectations for all its students. Teachers are given the freedom to refine their lesson plans to fit the needs of students in order to support and challenge them individually, whether that mean remedial support or more challenging work. Across all disciplines, critical thinking skills are stressed along with analytic writing, and science literacy and mathematical literacy are also emphasized, so that students develop the skills and know-how necessary for success.
Students are taught to write intelligently and thoughtfully about a variety of texts and to demonstrate strong communication skills across the board. The goal of the school is to mold students into life-long learners who take responsibility for their own learning and also become engaged citizens who demand success in their own lives after graduation.

Chalk Talk: Asking for Letters of Recommendations
Most colleges want from one to three recommendations, which means a good rule of thumb is to ask for two. One of the toughest questions to consider when applying to college is who to ask for a recommendation. Of course, a teacher of a subject that falls in line with the student’s future major is a no-brainer. A student applying with an undecided major might be especially unsure. A general rule of thumb for unsure students is to ask one teacher from a humanities class and one from a math or science class. That way, the college application committee can get insight into the applicant’s writing ability and creativity from the humanities teacher, and problem solving, class performance, and work ethic, among other things, from the other teacher.
