Curriculum 

Ever wonder what all those EGLCEs or EHSCEs that your child's teacher is always talking about look like?   Click the following link to view the Extended Grade Level or High School Context Expectations that your child is working on  www.mich.gov/md.

Michigan has adopted the Common Core State Standards as benchmarks in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics.  Essential Elements to the Common Core State Standards are extensions of the standards to an appropriate level for students at Wesley School.   These Common Core Essential Elements will eventually replace the EGLCEs & EHSCEs that your student follows.  Stay tuned for updates as we begin transitioning to the Common Core Essential Elements!
