What curriculum does RIS Ratchapruek follow?
RIS follows the American curriculum, which is standards-based. Standards are skills and concept knowledge aligned for the stage of development that corresponds to each grade level.
From one grade level to another, students build a progression of standards that deepens their understanding of each content area and enhances their skills. Teachers are highly skilled in using ongoing assessments to understand what concepts and skills students have mastered and what they are ready to learn next. This ensures a rigorous approach for students through differentiation.
Standards include the Washington, D.C. Early Childhood Standards and American Education Reaches Out (AERO) standards for our core subject areas of English language, mathematics, and social studies, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for science and ISTE for integrated technology, and standards specific to specialist subjects.
