Curriculum

New Hampshire consistently ranks among the top states when it comes to education. We have a strong history of "local control", which is something we are very proud of as Granite Staters and Milford Educators. We pride ourselves on adopting and developing the best learning standards to ensure students are learning relevant, developmentally appropriate material.

One common misconception about curriculum occurs when people think that a text book, novel, or program is a curriculum. It is not. Curriculum is - quite simply - the "what" of learning. Curriculum consists of the standards we expect students to learn. With that in mind, we have been re-developing our K-12 aligned curriculum to ensure that students are focused on the major work of the grade and that there is cohesion between what is learned one year and that it prepares students for the next grade level.

This work is detailed and takes time. Our teachers have taken on the task of developing and adopting standards that are rigorous as a means of maximizing learning for each student. We are proud to share more detailed information below:
