    About Curriculum and Instruction

    In the Santa Fe Independent School District, the emphasis is on student achievement.  The administration and teachers continue the work of many years in refining curriculum in a district-wide cooperative group effort with special attention to English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science & Social Studies. District-created Instructional Focus Documents (IFDs) provide the relevant scope & sequence for classroom instruction.

    Through long-range efforts and goals, the SFISD has incorporated an educational approach to learning, which stresses a progressive mastery of skills through all grade levels and course contents.  Expectation levels are set high for achievement, while providing resources and a commitment to success for all students.

    The value of these efforts has demonstrated a continuing rise in local, state, and national scores.

    In meeting the curriculum needs of students, the SFISD provides a wide variety of programs at all ability levels.
