Does SWS Elementary teach the same standards as public schools?

Our projects follow best practices in project-based learning pedagogy, grounding all academic standards in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills and the Next Generation Science Standards.

  • Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
    • Created and mandated by the state of Texas for public schools
    • Language Arts (Spanish and English), Math, Social Studies, Specials
  • Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
    • Comparable to the TEKS, with an emphasis on design thinking
    • Widely recognized and respected, both state- and nation-wide

By following the TEKS and NGSS, we ensure that our students are prepared to transition to public schools, or elsewhere, when they graduate to middle school.
