Curriculum

PS7’s charter states that students will master the California content standards. We have many resources in the classroom to ensure student mastery of these standards, the best of which is our well-trained, energetic, motivated, and results-driven teaching staff. Our teachers have been equipped with outstanding curriculum, professional development, and on-going support to ensure that all students meet and are pushed to exceed their grade-level standards. The K-5 campus uses the Harcourt curriculum for all four core subjects: ELA, math, science, and social studies. The middle school campus has been supplied with the Holt curriculum for the same four subjects. PS7 acknowledges that while this curriculum is the best we could find it is not perfect. As such, teachers are given the flexibility to adjust their instructional practices and materials to meet the needs of their students. This is a strength of the PS7 program and inspires the creativity and critical-thinking required to be a successful teacher with high-achieving students.
