Overland Park District and Curriculum
The Shawnee Mission School District implements a curriculum that follows the national standards and state standards. By placing an emphasis on critical thinking as well as problem solving, students are challenged and encouraged to develop their own thought-process while being guided by a tried and trusted set of standards. For elementary students, advanced courses in mathematics are available, such as pre-algebra for Grade 6. In Middle School and High School, a strong core curriculum of Math, Science, English, and Social Studies is taught. Electives such as Foreign Languages, Art, and Music are also available to students.
We currently cover the following Overland Park-area school districts: Blue Valley School District, Olathe School District and Shawnee Mission School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Overland Park District Curriculum
The Olathe School District implements the Common Core State Standards that have been adopted state-wide. By having all schools within the district follow the same basic blueprint, parents and students can be assured that what is being taught at one school is not left out at another. The four core areas which establish the foundation for future learning are Math, Science, Reading, and Social Studies.
The Blue Valley School District follows the Core Standards that the state of Kansas has adopted. Designed to give every student equal access and opportunity, the academic expectations within the curriculum are regularly assessed. Progress can thus be measured and areas that need improvement are easily identified so instruction can be enhanced.

Chalk Talk: College or Trade School?
For many students, it's a given that they will attend a university. Whether it's a state college or an Ivy League institution, parents
are putting more pressure these days on their children to earn a college degree. But is that always the best route for a successful career? If a student is more inclined to wrench on cars than study books, earning a certification at an accredited trade school might be a far better career path than spending the time and money of earning a degree at a four year university. Also, depending on family financial situations, it might be better to enter the workforce right out of high school and gain those extra years of real-world experience that employers are always looking for.
