The plan of study for Bedayia students is guided by a rigorous curriculum aligned to American standards of student achievement. The goal of the plan of study is to prepare students with the set of skills needed to be successful as they enter college or the work place. Students are expected to work hard in order to progress along grade level expectations. Homework, classwork, projects, and assessment are an important part of the educational process to ensure student learning. Assessments take different forms (such as quizzes, chapter tests, presentations, projects, etc.) and are ongoing. A student’s grade at the end of the trimester is a cumulative total of the full extent of work done throughout the trimester. Students are expected to put forth their best effort and demonstrate a positive attitude toward all academic matters.
