Curriculum
At Big Lake Schools, we are committed to delivering educational excellence. Our priority is to equip students with a well-rounded foundation for future success. While core subjects take center stage, our curriculum offers diverse opportunities that challenge students and encourage them to explore and discover their individual interests.

Standards-Aligned Learning
All of our curriculum aligns with the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards. Academic standards are reviewed and updated by the state every ten years by a committee of teachers, community members, and subject experts.
To explore the standards in detail, visit the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) website.
Curriculum Review Cycle
To guarantee a continuous and strategic evaluation of our curriculum, we have implemented a multi-year curriculum review process. This structured cycle helps us ensure that our students learn all the essential knowledge and skills needed in every course and grade, and that staff have the tools they need to support them.
The process consists of reviewing standards and curriculum, strategically choosing new curricula to fill in gaps, and providing ample staff professional development opportunities. In the final year of the cycle for each content area, we conduct an in-depth needs assessment and select a curriculum options that will best serve our staff and students.
