Curriculum
Palomino Primary takes pride in students' academic excellence. Palomino strives to bridge the achievement gap by providing opportunities to challenge and prepare students for lifelong success.
Palomino Primary uses the latest adopted curriculum materials to ensure students meet state and national standards. The team carefully supplements these excellent resources with engaging, hands-on, cooperative learning projects. Palomino uses a constructivist approach to data-driven instruction, which has proven highly effective.
Palomino Primary is dedicated to ensuring that every student receives a top-notch education. The curriculum includes weekly classes in Music—where students are introduced to Quaver's Marvelous World of Music—Physical Education, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math), and Technology, which is seamlessly integrated into the classroom to support instructional goals. Moreover, the school is equipped with one-to-one technology per student.
The mission of the Curriculum Department is to increase student achievement through the provision of systemic innovative curricula characterized by standards and research-based educational programs that deliver effective and differentiated instruction in partnership with schools, families, and the diverse PVSchools community.
