Standards
School of Eden believes in Bible-based, practical education that IS HOLISTIC, PREPARING THE YOUTH FOR SUCCESS IN THIS WORLD AND THE ONE TO COME.
Standards are learning goals that outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. These ensure that all students complete their studies with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live.
School of Eden references the following specific standards as guide for its project designs:
- Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math
- Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for Science
- National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies (NCSS) for Social Studies
- Core of Adventist Education Curriculum

Science
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are states-developed K–12 science content standards. One of the goals of its development is the creation of research-based, up-to-date standards that offer flexibility to design learning experiences while preparing learners for college, careers, and citizenship.*

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS (ELA)
The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy establish guidelines to help students learn to read, write, speak, listen and use language effectively in a variety of content areas. The standards promote literacy skills and concepts required for college and career readiness.
