Curriculum Guide
This site has been prepared to provide an overview of the District 97 curriculum at each grade level. It is not meant to be all-inclusive.

Illinois Learning Standards
The core curriculum in D97 is aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards. The Illinois Learning Standards establish expectations for what all students should know and be able to do in each subject at each grade. The standards emphasize depth over breadth, and building upon key concepts as students advance. The standards promote student-driven learning and application of knowledge to real world situations.
