Curriculum
What is my child learning?
Edmond Public Schools’ dynamic curriculum is designed to meet the needs of all students and to foster a life-long passion for creativity and learning. Students receive a strong foundation in the core subjects of reading, mathematics, science and social studies, but also have the opportunity to explore elective classes in their individual areas of interest aligned with their Individual Career Academic Plan (ICAP).
EPS classrooms utilize a rigorous classroom framework where students are encouraged to master critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help them be college and career-ready. Curriculum standards reflect the Oklahoma state standards.
Key to the success of the curriculum is a dedicated staff of professionals who believe that high expectations yield results and that all students can be successful learners. Please click on the Curriculum Staff page to learn more about our contents specialists.
