Progress is truly and amazing place built on the foundation of a professional, knowledgeable, and caring staff. At Progress we strive to serve the needs of our students and families so that all may find success in their journey through school and life beyond their Central Valley experience.

 

Our staff’s responsibility is to provide the very best educational experiences possible for your child. At Progress, students access the curriculum and standards by using 21st Century skills to engage in inquiry-based learning and explorations.

 

We are a community dedicated to nurturing the whole child. We support achievement with inquiry-based learning. We believe when inquiry is engaged, students are inclined to build positive relationships, achieve success and learn 21^st century skills. We value Community, Curiosity, Choice, Critical Thinking, Creativity, Communication, and  Collaboration.

Inquiry is a recursive student-centered process in which we nurture students’ curiosity by encouraging them to develop deep and real questions around curricular and high interest topics as well as current events. Students are given the opportunity to explore, investigate, and research their questions. Then students build knowledge by discovering answers and synthesizing the information they learn.
