Curriculum & Instruction

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction for the Buford City School System (BCSS) is committed to fostering a supportive environment for our entire educational community. We accomplish this by providing innovative professional development programs, engaging instructional materials, and supportive instructional services. Our primary goal at BCSS is to empower educators to equip every student with the skills they need to succeed as globally competitive critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, responsible individuals, and productive citizens.

 

At BCSS, our goal is to provide the highest quality education for our students. We strive for our students to excel in academics, athletics, and the arts, ensuring they graduate from high school equipped with the skills needed to succeed in a global society. Our dedicated and highly qualified educators are committed to lifelong learning, holding advanced degrees and multiple certifications and endorsements. We offer exceptional facilities and maintain a safe, vibrant academic environment that fosters optimal learning.

 

Our instructional framework is grounded in a strong commitment to Georgia’s K-12 Standards in Math and Language Arts as well as Georgia’s Standards of Excellence for all other subjects. To enhance the learning experience, we utilize BCSS-adopted and BCSS-approved instructional materials that support all the standards. This approach allows us to offer our students a well-rounded and enriching educational experience.
