Highly Structured Academic Program
The High Point School continues to evolve with today’s evolving educational landscape. Our school’s multimodal framework creates flexible, responsive classrooms that feature:
- 21st Century Learning Approaches
- Blended Learning Modalities
- Differentiated Instruction
- Generalization of Skills
- Alignment with Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
- Adherence to Standards of Learning (SOL)
- Fulfillment of IEP Requirements
In these flexible classrooms, our students benefit from diverse curriculums and broad-spectrum computer programs (like Ingenuity Works) that have built-in formative assessments, which in turn benefit teachers with real-time feedback on student progress. Our teaching staff and strategies meet students at their own level and pace, affording them options to reengage with instructional material in more effective and productive ways, allowing them access to gradually unfolding content, and, in the process, breaking down barriers to the general education curriculum.
We work closely and collaboratively with New Jersey school districts to both enhance individualization—including personalized schedules and lesson plans—and to design unique course loads that meet district requirements for grade advancement and/or graduation.
As critical as differentiation of instruction is to the academic success of the particular populations we serve, we’ve found that it’s just as essential to guide students in developing the ability to function cooperatively within a learning community. For this reason, High Point prioritizes the individual student while never losing sight of his or her integral and singular role in the larger community surrounding and supporting the student.
