MISSION STATEMENT The missioo ofThe North Hi11s School is to prepare students to be leaders in the global commuaity ofthe future through a unique partnership between the sclJooI, local corporatioas aud the surroundias COOIIIIIIIIity. The school will proYide a rigorous core curriculum whicls will iacIude accessing the global conummity through advanced tecbaology and curricu1um that Idlects the rich cultural diversity ofthe area. Strong parental involvement, and a safe and II1JrturiJrc eaviromneat will encourage students to love Ieamiag and have the desire to Rach their full potcatiaI. EDUCATION PROGRAM (1) Descn"be the educational proF&m to be ofl"ered, indudiaa the required curriculum UDder Tens Education Code (TEC) 1#28.002, and student attendance requirements: A. INTRODUCTION After careful COIISideratioa ofthe educational goals ofthis diverse community. it was coac:luded that the program developed by the Intematioaal B'Wlla!!l'Qtc Organization (180) would best matdl the Deeds ofthis area and therefore will be adopted by The North Hills School. This prosram. ofl'md tbrougbout the world, flroiilotes academic: adIievaneat and respcIIS1,,1e c:iti71'!!!sbip. The lDtematioaal BaWlIsnreate (18) program was origiaaIly developed in Switudaad thirty years ago as a Jiaorous COUJSe ofstudy for motivated secondary students. Recently. themtemational BaWllallrQtc OrpnizatiOll (180) developed and c:odorsed a Middle Years Prognm (MYP) which fulfills and c:nhaooes the mjssion ideatified for The North HiIJs School. The 18 JIIIIBllIDI is the ped"ec:t program to be offered in the bac:kyatd ofthe Las CoIiaas iatcmatioaa1 0 ......niJ¥ where IIIIIIIY iatematiooaI corporatioas have c:orporatc oflic:es. Many ofthe dIougbts _ informatioa c:oatajnecl in this applicatioa were taken from the 18 material descriptioas. B. CURRICULUM The c:urricuIum is designed as a comprebeosive program that allows its graduatesto tWfiJl requircmcmts of various national systems ofeducation, the 180 is based 011 the pIlfem of110 single COUDtry. It provides sl!ldeats ofdifferaIt liDguistic:, c:uIturaI, and educatioaal badpuads with the iateIIec:tuaI, social and attitudinal perspectives aec:es5al}' for the challenaes and opporIUIIities that lies ahead ofthem in a c:ootanporary. intematioaaI society. The MYP bas the _ commi1meat and rigor to a bolistic: view ofkaowledge that is found throughout the world in theIligbly suc:o:ssful high school program. The suc:c:ess ofthe bigh school program bas beea demonstrated at I approximately two-hundred schools in the United States and over fi~UIIdred throughout the world, ninety pereeut ofwhich are public schools. The ISO's MYP stresses rigorous academic srudy and the equally important development of Iiie skills, discipline and a sense ofsocial responsibility. The intent is that students should Icam how to Ieam, how to analyze, how to reach coosidered cooclusions about people, tbeir ianguases and literature, tbeir ways in society, and the scientific forces ofthe environmem. At the beginning of each DeW course or topic ofstudy students are giWll clear classIcourse objectives and the med!ods by wbich they will be ~sed. The North Hills studeats will be required to eosase in the study of English I.aDguage arts, one or more world ianguases, sciences, mathematics, Texas, U.S. and world history, gcwemment, geography, and the arts. The m program is a deh"berate compromise between the preference for specialization in some countries and the mJphasis on breadth often plefelled in othen. The educatiooal aim ofthe Intematioaal Baccalaureate Organization is to awaken the inteIIigeuce ofstudents and teach them to relate the CODteIIt ofthe classroom to the realities ofthe world outside. By emphasizing the dynamic combination ofknowledge, skills, experieDce and critical thinking, the mo promotes academic achievement coupled with active and responsible citizeDship. This program addresses the challenge ofeducating the whole penoa in preparation for life, eugendering respect for the physical life ofthe body and delight in the life ofthe mind as it engages the world in all its fhllness and complexity. The mo's Middle Years Program is designed for studeats between the ages of 11 and 16. This period, encompassing early puberty and mid-adolescence, is a particularly critical phase of personal and intellectual developmeut. Such a time ofUllCCrtainty, seusitivity, SUSCeptibility, ~ and questioning IeQUires an educatiooal program that will provide discipline, challenging standards, ski11s, CICativity and flexibility to aid the individual's growth towards seif-reliaoce and respoasible participation in society. This program otrers an approach to teaching and Icaming that embraces yet transcends the focus on tIaditiooal school subjects. While insisting upon thorough study ofthe various disciplines, the Middle Years Program aceeutuates the interre1atednes ofthem and so advances a holistic view of knowledge. This interdisciplinary perspective asks the student to

  • 153 Campuses Earn All Seven Distinctions in 2015 Accountability Ratings
    Aug. 7, 2015 153 campuses earn all seven distinctions in 2015 accountability ratings AUSTIN – The Texas Education Agency today released the 2015 state accountability ratings for more than 8,600 campuses. The ratings reveal that 86.4 percent of campuses across Texas achieved the rating of Met Standard. Campuses that receive an accountability rating of Met Standard are also eligible for distinction designations. Distinction designations are awarded to campuses based on achievement in performance indicators relative to a group of 40 campuses of similar type, size and student demographics. Distinction designations can be earned by campuses for: Academic Achievement in Reading/English Language Arts; Academic Achievement in Mathematics; Academic Achievement in Science; Academic Achievement in Social Studies; Top 25 Percent: Student Progress; Top 25 Percent: Closing Performance Gaps; and Postsecondary Readiness. In 2015, 4,388 campuses achieved the Met Standard rating and earned some type of distinction designation. However, only 153 high schools, middle schools and junior high schools earned all seven distinction designations. “Earning any type of distinction under the state accountability system is commendable and should be a source of pride in a community,” said Commissioner of Education Michael Williams. “Achieving all seven distinctions reflects extraordinary work taking place on a campus while affirming a strong commitment to students.” Campuses (listed alphabetically by school district or charter) that earned all seven distinctions

  • North Texas Food Bank Welcomes Record-Breaking Number for New Young Advocates Council
    Media Contact: Anna Kurian Number: 214-724-6565 Email: [email protected] NORTH TEXAS FOOD BANK WELCOMES RECORD-BREAKING NUMBER FOR NEW YOUNG ADVOCATES COUNCIL DALLAS, TX – SEPT. 2020: The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is excited to welcome a new class of students into the NTFB Young Advocates Council (YAC). The NTFB YAC encompasses a dedicated group of high school students working to spread the word about food insecurity in North Texas. This year, it has a record-breaking 75 students who will work throughout the school year to act as advocates for the Food Bank. This year’s YAC will join the NTFB Board of Directors, NTFB Young Professionals, NTFB Executive Leadership, and peers to work toward a common goal of closing the hunger gap in North Texas. Students will learn important skills that will help them in their professional lives, such as building relationships, interviewing, managing meetings, speaking in public and more. As part of the curriculum, participants will volunteer at NTFB and within our network of Partner Agencies, plan a fundraiser and advocate on the Food Bank’s behalf. Catie Enrico, NTFB volunteer, is leading the YAC this year. “I wanted to be a part of a program where teens not only volunteered but were given the opportunity to learn and understand why it is important to give back and how to be successful at it,” she said. “NTFB’s dedicated staff help make that happen and shape teens aware of the needs of the community in which we live.” Students in the Young Advocates Council come from the following schools across North Texas: Centennial High School Coppell High School Episcopal School of Dallas Greenhill School Highland Park High School The Hockaday School Independence High School Jasper High School John Paul II High School Legacy Christian Academy Parish Episcopal School Plano Senior High School School of Science and Engineering at Yvonne A.
