Standards & Curriculum
The focus of each learner’s experience in Richland School District Two is the South Carolina Standards, 21st century skills and other learnings that may be identified in the curriculum as being essential for all students to know, understand and be able to do.
Standards set clear, high expectations for student achievement. They tell what students need to do in order to progress through school on grade level. Instruction in every school in the state is based on the same academic standards.
The Profile of the SC Graduate lays out the skills, knowledge, and life and career characteristics expected of a graduate in an easy to understand graphic.
The S.C. Department of Education and S.C. State Library has partnered to provide Virtual tutoring support to South Carolina students (K-12). Tutoring.com is available to families 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
