Orland Hills District and Curriculum
Both Kirby School District and the Consolidated High School District 230 follow the Illinois Learning Standards for core academics. The Illinois Learning Standards provide a comprehensive series of objectives which detail what students are expected to know and be able to do each year. They build along major topics or themes in a subject so that by the time students are in high school they have the background to do advanced work in each topic. Students are also expected to be able to integrate areas of knowledge and develop independence in their learning, and so have more options at the high school to prepare themselves for college and career.
We currently cover the following Orland Hills-area school districts: Kirby School District 140 and Consolidated High School District 230.

The Math curriculum focuses on the topics of numeracy, algebra, geometry, and data analysis to give students a strong basis in problem-solving. The general curriculum outcomes include being able to understand the best way to solve different problems, strong mathematical literacy and quantitative reasoning skills, the ability to defend and explain mathematical reasoning, an understanding of computational tools, and the ability to create mathematical models to assist in problem-solving.
The Science curriculum emphasizes the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering and math, and there is a push toward STEM learning that teaches the skills of each in an integrated fashion. Students work on engineering design challenges and learn about topics in bio-technology. This study of science allows them to look at aspects of their careers, or education, after graduation in different ways. Students who go through the program may be interested in having careers such as engineers, statisticians, biochemists, and coders.

Chalk Talk: Early Decision
One of the most popular application types for college has become Early Decision (ED). Early Decision is different from Regular Decision in a couple ways. One, it has an early deadline, usually November 1st, whereas Regular Decision might be December 1st or even later, with some colleges setting it as late as February. Second, Early Decision is binding, which means that upon applying, students sign a contract saying they agree to attend this college if accepted, regardless of whether they’re accepted to a different college or even get a better offer elsewhere. Some might see this as a drawback, but colleges tend to favor students who are willing to make this commitment, and Early Decision applications tend to have a higher acceptance rate than Regular Decision.
