Curriculum
Berwyn South School District 100 provides a comprehensive educational program that focuses on college and career readiness while encouraging students to be active learners. The district’s English language arts and math curriculum align with the
Illinois Learning Standards, which are based on the Common Core State Standards. District 100 recently created a scope and sequence that provides clear and consistent expectations of what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
Our science curriculum is based on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the social science curriculum covers topics based on Illinois Learning Standards. The curriculum in all content areas and exploratory courses is designed to provide students with the knowledge necessary to master content standards while challenging them to reach their greatest academic potential. District 100 is committed to enriching the curriculum through exploration, creativity and collaboration, and providing instruction based on the individual needs of every student.

We also utilize MAP Accelerator to give additional supports to students.
