Understanding Curriculum and Instruction
-
District 103 offers a varied curriculum providing a strong emphasis on a developmental program in basic skills. Students are encouraged and taught to develop work and study skills, which will enable them to function in an independent manner. The total curriculum provides each student a well-balanced education. The levels of courses that we offer depend on the student’s age, grade, and ability.
