We are excited to share the Dover Public Schools curriculum for each grade level and subject through our curriculum maps.

These maps outline what students should know and be able to do each year, offering a valuable overview of our educational goals. While they provide a structured guide, they do not capture the full depth of our daily classroom activities.

Teachers use these maps flexibly to tailor instruction to individual student needs.

The maps represent our ongoing efforts to align with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and reflect our dynamic, evolving curriculum.
