Curriculum
The Aggie requires the basic four parts of curriculum: math, science, history, and literature also allows for three different agricultural fields which students will choose after a brief trail. All students take MCAS testing, Certification of Occupational Proficiency as well as testing for higher education. The school uses an eight day calendar with academic class on four days and agricultural on the others. Students also have physical education for all four years and computer classes for the first two and a career exploration class offered by the guidance department.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
