The academy’s curriculum, which is available to all students and can be
reviewed at the school, is fully aligned with state standards and
benchmarks. The school utilizes the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks for
core areas - English language arts, mathematics, science and social
studies. 100% of core academic subjects, elementary and secondary school
classes were taught by highly qualified teachers.
A
full-time instructional coach works closely with teachers and
administrators to plan, pace and assess curriculum to ensure its quality
and alignment with state standards. The school also assessed its
curriculum through state and standardized tests. Additional methods of
ensuring compliance with outlined curriculum standards included
lesson-plan monitoring, classroom observation and submission of
classroom goals to the school’s instructional coach.
