CORE COURSES
Mathematics
Dysart Schools use the Arizona Mathematics Standards to guide instruction. Through a gradual release model, students build conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving skills by exploring mathematical concepts, discussing their thinking, and applying learning to real-world situations.
Language Arts
Dysart Schools use 95 Percent Group Phonics, HMH Into Reading, CommonLit, SAVVAS myPerspectives, and district-developed resources to provide standards-aligned literacy instruction. Students develop skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language through instruction in phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and text analysis in order to master the Arizona State Standards.
Science
Dysart schools use Discovery Science Tech book curriculum as the core K-8 curriculum resource. High School Science utilizes HMH Biology, Chemistry, and Earth Science, as well as McGrawHill Physics. Students actively participate in science practices, and look through the lens of cross cutting concepts, as they explore the content described in the state standards for each grade level.

CIVIC MINDED LEADERSHIP SIGNATURE PROGRAM
Riverview is a Pre-K through 8th grade school that inspires students to become Civic Minded Leaders. Utilizing tools from Steven Covey’s Leader In Me (LIM) program, Riverview helps all students to develop leadership skills both inside and outside the classroom. Through both direct instruction in the classroom and extracurricular opportunities, students are equipped with the skills they need to lead their own learning and create a culture of leadership where every voice is valued. Our vision is to create a generation of students who think critically about the world around them, dream big, and have the confidence to step into leadership roles in their families, communities, nations, and the world.
Students will develop skills, knowledge, and dispositions to lead physically active lives. Physical Education class will include age and physically-appropriate activities centered around fitness activities, sports, health science, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Students will utilize various locomotor and non-locomotor skills to build coordination and balance. Students will learn skills related to lifetime activities including how to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, movement and how it impacts the human body, the rules, tactics, strategies, and etiquette of games and sports.
