Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Winnetka District Curriculum
The school’s curriculum is based on the Illinois Common Core Standards, which are internationally refereed and researched in order to provide quality equal educational opportunities for all students. In humanities classes, the focus is on reading nonfiction works with fewer novels or poems. Students write analytical essays, gathering information, analyzing it, and presenting it as support for their theses.
In science classes, the focus is on real-world applications of the scientific process whenever possible. The core of this curriculum is a focus on foundational ideas which are thoroughly explored in classes so that students can build upon them. Critical thinking is demonstrated and taught in the hopes that students will develop these skills themselves and become life-long learners. Scientific literacy is also a sought for goal so that all students are equipped to understand natural and technological phenomenon.

Chalk Talk: Beyond the FAFSA: What Next?
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the primary source of financial aid for students, but the process doesn’t have to stop there. The college’s financial aid department is the best resource for further information. They might know of additional scholarships or might have leeway to reconsider a financial aid package when extenuating circumstances come into play. They can also let applicants know about any scholarships available for high-achieving students, called merit scholarships, or students who fit into a certain demographic or have some quality in their background that is specific to a scholarship. Students are often automatically considered for these scholarships. But there are other moneys available. Many businesses and organizations offer scholarships for employees’ families or students who fulfill certain criteria. Many times, these scholarships require a fairly simple application and maybe an essay. Many political leaders offer small scholarships as well, which require brief applications.
