Standards
Across the state, schools are implementing Arizona’s Academic Standards to ensure that all students have the academic knowledge and skills they need to be successful in college, career, and life. La Paloma Academy South is committed to ensuring that our curriculum and instruction meet these rigorous standards.

Beyond Textbooks
At La Paloma, we utilize an instructional program called Beyond Textbooks to guide our curriculum. Beyond Textbooks “refers to a philosophy of teaching and learning that transcends textbooks and state standards to strengthen support for communities of teachers, facilitate teaching and learning, and improve student growth and achievement.”
