Harrisburg District and Curriculum

The Harrisburg Community Unit School District strives to provide a supportive environment in which students can achieve their academic and personal best. They follow the Iowa Core Curriculum, which features a nationally respected set of standards. The school offers many extracurricular opportunities for students, from club and varsity men’s and women’s sports to academic competitions, band and music, performing and visual arts, academic and special interest clubs. The school also stresses community service because it feels that students who gain an appreciation for involvement in their local community are more likely to be engaged and involved later in life.

We currently cover the following Harrisburg-area school district: Harrisburg Community Unit School District 3.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Harrisburg District Curriculum

The curriculum follows the Illinois Common Core Standards in order to provide a comprehensive, equal education to all students. Students are given clear expectations for what they should learn by the end of each school year in each their different subjects. The expectations include the different skills, concepts and knowledge, and critical thinking perspectives that students need to understand the subject. In all subjects, analytic problem-solving, communication and literacy skills are emphasized.

The high school experience introduces more rigor and options for students. They have college-level courses available to them as well as career-related electives and technical programs. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and teachers are given the freedom to craft their lesson plans to fit the individual needs of their students, whether that be to provide remedial work to enable a student to catch up to grade level or to provide advanced work to keep a student who is working beyond grade level challenged.

Chalk Talk: Restricted Early Action

Restricted Early Action is a rare form of Early Action application. It’s early, which means the deadline comes sooner than most applications, usually around November 15. It’s also restricted, which means that students are only allowed to apply to that one college. When they receive a response, they aren’t bound to attend, and they can then apply elsewhere, but, of course, most students who apply Restricted Early Action do commit to that college, unless they don’t get a favorable financial aid package, or something like that. Most colleges who practice Restricted Early Action will factor in financial issues to their decision, though, so a student with heavy need might not be accepted, if the college won’t be able to meet that need. Some may, though, and because it is an early application, and because of it being restricted and therefore demonstrating loyalty to the college, colleges tend to favor these early applicants.
