CURRICULUM
Our curriculum is scrutinized regularly, employing the best traditional approaches along with the integration of technology in every day learning. A strong basically skills emphasis in reading, math, English, and writing, science and history is present at every grade level.
Evaluating the Learning Process
Students must maintain a 2.00 grade point average to be eligible for extracurricular activities. Students are recognized for academic achievement on the Principal’s List (above 3.8 GPA), Honor Roll (above 3.5) and Honorable Mention (above 3.2) at the end of each quarter when report cards are issued.
Our curriculum is a hybrid of the CA state Standards, Common Core, and Core knowledge. We also use a variety of supplemental resources to allow for flexibility within the classroom.

In the fall of 2019, Prince of Peace began incorporating a new type of standardized testing called MAP Growth Testing.
We are excited about this new type of assessment that will help us know exactly where the child is in his educational journey.
We are convinced that the best use of assessment testing is when it is used to help our students improve and excel.
For this reason, we have updated to the NWEA MAP testing in place of the Scantron Performance testing that we used to use.
“MAP® Growth™ measures what students know and informs what they’re ready to learn next. By dynamically adjusting to each student’s responses, MAP Growth creates a personalized assessment experience that accurately measures performance. Timely, easy-to-use reports help teachers teach, students learn, and administrators lead.”
