Prospect Sierra
El Cerrito, California
The educational program at Prospect Sierra strongly emphasizes an integrated curriculum based on a framework of established themses.
Mathematics, literature, writing, art, music, science, world languages, social studies, service learning, physical education, and computer technology are incorporated into a positive experience for each student. The faculty, librarians, and staff work closely to connect the subject matter in meaningful ways.
The project-based curriculum is designed to promote understanding and thoughtfulness. Students are asked to think deeply and reflectively about facts, ideas, and experiences in an increasingly diverse society. They are encouraged to make connections between their learning and their awareness of the outside world.
