Curriculum

At ACST, we follow a comprehensive K-12 standards-based curriculum grounded in American educational standards, with a clear progression from preschool through grade 12. Our K-10 curriculum is aligned to internationally-benchmarked standards, ensuring a cohesive and progressive learning journey. In grades 11-12, students engage with the rigor of the IB Diploma Programme, further advancing their academic skills and critical thinking. This intentional sequencing allows our educators to design engaging and focused lessons that support student understanding, knowledge, and skill development at every stage of their academic journey

Understanding by Design (UbD) Approach

Our curriculum is designed using the Understanding by Design (UbD) model for unit development. Beginning with clear learning objectives, our teachers define desired outcomes, identify appropriate assessment methods, and create structured learning sequences to actively involve students in the learning process.

Assessment and Learning Targets

Aligned with standards-based teaching, our assessment practices are carefully tailored to monitor student progress effectively. Daily learning targets help students track their advancement towards unit objectives. Throughout their educational journey, students are provided with numerous opportunities to showcase their growing knowledge and skills through various forms of assessment, including projects, products, and performances.
