Our CurriculumProject-Based / Hands-on learning is integral to ACSA’s thematic approach to curriculum. Although some content and skills are taught separately, for the most part, students acquire knowledge and skills through learning that makes connections among varying disciplines. All project-based studies culminate with exhibitions or final products that must meet high standards. These products are the vehicles for students to synthesize what they have learned and to demonstrate how they can use it.
MathACSA uses the McGraw Hill Glencoe Math series and the supplementary online ALEKS program. When possible, math concepts are also integrated into science and projects for core subjects. The students will complete math journals to explain the process and logic of solving word problems. Fifth through eighth grade students have a wide range of abilities, so students are placed in many different levels of math.
