Academics

At South Bend Schools, we foster a culture of educational excellence where each student learns and thrives both in school and beyond. We are committed to advancing students' skills and competencies in literacy across all subject areas. Our exceptional literacy instruction ensures every student can read at grade level, think critically, and support arguments and opinions with diverse texts and media.

To guarantee our students become productive 21st-century citizens, we prioritize equitable access to high-quality teachers, resources, and curriculum. Our educators are equipped with the skills necessary to deliver research-based literacy instruction, ensuring all aspects of teaching and learning are inclusive and accessible to every student.

Our goal is for every student to graduate ready for college or a career. We are committed to establishing robust 6-12 academic pathways, allowing students to engage deeply in coursework of interest and prepare for college credit, internships, or industry credentials. We systematically monitor students who are off-track for graduation, providing rigorous academic intervention at the middle and early high school levels.

South Bend Schools is dedicated to fostering an environment where all students can succeed, preparing them to thrive.
