Overview
Curriculum: Clear and High Expectations
The curriculum in Fulton County focuses on the development and application of skills and knowledge as identified by the state of Georgia, national curriculum standards, and local system objectives. Fulton County’s curriculum is carefully sequenced to promote continuity in learning over a student’s K-12 journey. Each year new knowledge and skills are layered on top of prior knowledge and skills; what is taught in mathematics or English Language Arts one year is the foundation for what is taught the next.
At Heards Ferry Elementary, inquiry-based learning and hands-on-experiences are central to our vision for the effective delivery of instruction and increased emphasis on higher academic achievement for all students.
