US Curriculum
Curriculum Overview
DMES curriculum aims to provide a coherent, more flexible and enriched curriculum to ensure that all children and young people aged between 4 and 18 develop the attributes,
knowledge and skills they will need to flourish in life, learning and work. The curriculum itself can be defined as the totality of planned learning outcomes and experiences. As a school, we have reviewed our courses to ensure they are constructed out of the learning outcomes and experiences provided by the California curriculum, Common Core Standards, and NGSS. It is our hope that experiencing the learning outcomes of the DMES curriculum, all students will develop the four capacities to become successful learners, confident individuals, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
