We live in an ever-changing world that is full of possibilities. To prepare students to explore those possibilities, Rockwood's curriculum is designed to foster curiosity, critical thinking, problem-solving and inquiry-based experiences.
How well we educate our students today will determine the future of our community and our region. That is why Rockwood's curriculum is developed using a collaborative approach. Parents, students, teachers, administrators and community members all have opportunities to review and provide feedback on the curriculum throughout the curriculum writing process. Inviting stakeholders to contribute feedback helps us create the most relevant, engaging learning experiences for all students. Stakeholders are encouraged to reach out to their students' teachers, building administrators or the Rockwood Curriculum Department if they have questions or thoughts about our curriculum.
