We are proud to use Heron Books for our curriculum. They are the curriculum provider for the Delphian School, all Delphi program schools and many other schools and educators. Heron Books is a research and development team that publishes cutting edge K-6 educational materials.
The goal of our curriculum is to foster and support creative and independent thinking in our students. Rather than make testing our standard, we ask instead:
- Can the student use what they have learned in their life?
- Do they have a deep understanding of the subject, rather than a surface knowledge?
- Have the students made the subject their own and thought creatively and critically with the materials?
When these points are in, the understanding (and grades) follow naturally.
