Curriculum and instructional programs in Putnam County Schools are built upon the belief that all children can learn given the appropriate time and conditions. Furthermore, the school system believes that it is the responsibility of staff to modify the use of time and use the instructional strategies so that each child's unique talents and abilities are enhanced and each child is prepared in the basic literacy, numeracy and technological skills necessary for the twenty-first century. The school system believes that every child by grade 12 must meet rigorous academic standards and be focused toward further educational preparation and specific career goals.
At George Washington Middle School, students will master the basic academic skills, receive appropriate guidance services and have the opportunity to explore and identify their own interests and talents. Our curriculum includes career exploration units and activities, enhanced computer instruction and utilization, the assessment of students' interests and aptitudes, implementation of a responsible behavior program, participation in work-based experiences, introduction to the high school cluster curriculum, as well as the development of individual educational plans for the first two years of high school.
