South City Prep’s Curriculum

South City Prep’s curriculum is designed and executed based on the following beliefs:

1. Students need a rigorous, challenging curriculum to successfully prepare them for both college and adult life.
2. Students need an engaging, relevant curriculum that fosters skill development, intrinsic learning, and critical thinking.
3. Students learn both from the community in which they reside and the global community; both are rich sources of real-life learning connections.
4. Students all have individual learning styles, and instruction must be differentiated so all students can succeed.

Currently, curriculum is designed using a combination of purchased curricula and teacher-generated units and lessons. In five years, South City Prep’s curriculum will be almost completely teacher-generated so we can ensure that our content and instruction are tailored to meet the needs of our student body.
