Importance of Common Core Curriculum as a Platform for a Competitive World

Today's students are preparing to enter a world in which colleges and businesses are demanding more than ever before. To ensure all students are ready for success after high school, the Common Core State Standards establish clear, consistent guidelines for what every student should know and be able to do in Math and English language.

Our students are prepared to face the challenges of the new millennium with the following competencies.

The Common Core focuses on developing the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful.

AP Courses

What are AP Courses?

As part of Village School's plan to offer a rigorous and challenging curriculum, AP (Advanced Placement) courses are now offered to our juniors and seniors. AP courses are college-level courses that students can take while still in high school.

We are now offering six AP Courses:

  • AP Physics
  • AP Calculus
  • AP Chemistry
  • AP Microeconomics
  • AP Spanish Literature and Culture
  • AP English Literature and Composition

Taking AP can help the students become familiar with college-level work, develop college skills such as critical thinking and time management, and gain insights that can put them on the path to a career (College Board, 2021). These new challenging courses are a great opportunity for our students to prepare for the rigorous programs of higher education.
