US Academic Curriculum
American Curriculum
Students pursue the US curriculum at Corvuss. The US Curriculum is based on American Common Core State Standards for English Language, Arts, Math, History/Geography, and Next Generation Science Standards for Science.
At the end of high school, students at Corvuss, who successfully complete all their requirements, will be awarded a Diploma and also provided with a Grade Point Average (GPA). The GPA is an average score based on a student’s high school performance taking into account, tests, mid-term/final exams, essays, quizzes, homework assignments, classroom participation, group work, projects and attendance.
We made this decision after months of research in conjunction with our academic advisors based in Princeton, N.J. While other international curricula also are robust, they can be rigid in their framework and requirements.
The US curriculum at our boarding school offers tremendous flexibility for the student athlete, allowing him or her to focus on academics as well as training, nutrition and conditioning, honing their skills without feeling the pressure of those requirements and timeframes.
