At McDowell, we implement engaging curriculum aligned with rigorous Common Core State Standards. Students at McDowell have rich learning experiences to explore English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, and more! Instruction frequently includes interdisciplinary projects that engage students in making connections within and across curricular areas.
California's Common Core State Standards (CCSS) guide what your child learns in the core subjects of reading, writing, and math. Beyond CSSS, there are California standards for all other subject areas including science, physical education, social studies, and visual and performing arts. Like a roadmap for your child's education, standards outline what will be taught through our adopted curriculum and learning activities.
