The Trevor Academic Program |
Trevor takes pride in its innovative program and ever-expanding
and evolving curriculum offerings. Almost on a daily basis, the faculty
and administrators are asked to reflect upon and re-evaluate the
curriculum for mission consistency, effectiveness, validity and meaning
in light of a swiftly evolving world. The faculty is given room to
experiment within the definitions of the Mission,
Vision and Values, paying particular attention to the individual
needs of students. Student access to teachers allows us to carefully
evaluate the impact of the curriculum on every student.
The wide range of offerings and opportunities
in these pages reflect Trevor's commitment to educating the whole
child and to identifying and celebrating the unique and diverse talents
and possibilities within each. The result is that along with a focus
on the traditional three R’s, the curriculum is designed to
help students identify their strengths in many areas. The curriculum
and schedule also provides ample time for all students to become
deeply involved in world languages, the arts, physical education
and athletics.
Teachers in all divisions and subject areas
are required to engage in the use of innovative technology, integrating
digital resources with the curriculum to expand the educational experience
of Trevor students.
Students are required to have a laptop with
them at all times, which provides them with access to digital tools,
the Trevor network, the internet and allows peer-to-peer and student-to-teacher
communication. Microsoft Class Server, a curriculum delivery and
management tool, channels interactive assignments/assessments, links
to teacher selected Internet content and tracks student productivity.
The connectivity helps students to accomplish complex assignments,
keep in contact with their teachers, consistently meet deadlines
and maintain a record of their work, which is always accessible by
logging on to Class Server via any available Internet connection.
