Curriculum – Core Knowledge
A Core Knowledge education is built upon a detailed outline of specific content to be taught in language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science and the fine arts. As the core of a school's curriculum, it provides a solid, coherent foundation for learning; it is also flexible to meet local needs. This allows all the curriculum expectations of the California Framework to be thoroughly covered at each grade level by Rocklin Academy’s teachers. The Core Knowledge curriculum is the result of research into the content and structure of the highest performing elementary school systems around the world. Specific content includes language arts, world history and geography, visual art, music, mathematics and science. More information about Core Knowledge is available at the Core Knowledge website www.coreknowledge.org.
