Curricular Resources
At Academy of Dover, we believe that every student deserves access to high-quality instructional materials that are aligned to rigorous academic standards and grounded in research-based practices. Our curriculum is carefully selected to ensure students receive engaging, coherent, and challenging learning experiences that prepare them for future success.
Our instructional programs include:
English Language Arts: Bookworms and EL Education, supported by the Science of Reading and rich, knowledge-building texts.
Mathematics: Eureka Math², which develops deep conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving skills.
Science: Amplify Science, complemented by Delaware Department of Education science kits that provide hands-on, inquiry-based learning experiences.
Social Studies: Savvas Learning Company resources and the Delaware Recommended Curriculum to build students' understanding of history, civics, geography, and economics.
To ensure every student receives the support they need to succeed, we also utilize evidence-based intervention resources, including i-Ready for personalized instruction in reading and mathematics and UFLI Foundations to provide explicit, systematic phonics instruction for students requiring additional literacy support.
Through the implementation of these high-quality instructional materials, our dedicated educators deliver engaging, standards-aligned instruction that fosters critical thinking, academic excellence, and a lifelong love of learning.
