Curriculum

As a Core Knowledge School, Ridge View teaches a curriculum where core skills are built from year to year.  This core knowledge helps children establish strong foundations on which they can build new knowledge.  For example, there is no reason why first-graders cannot begin to learn basic information about electricity and the human body, or about ancient civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia.  Core Knowledge curriculum encourages youngsters to acquire important and exciting knowledge at a time when they are eager to learn.

Our math curriculum is enhanced by computer based Accelerated Math and the Everyday Mathematics programs.
Check out our library tab to see how Accelerated Reader enhances our reading curriculum.

Through the Guided Language Acquisition Design (GLAD) program, teachers are provided with training for language acquisition.  Project GLAD promotes an educational setting that focuses on language acquisition and retention to produce effective, literate citizens of a global society.

Ridge View has two programs that serve our children with special needs and an ESL (English as a Second Language) for students who are learning English as their second language.
