Curriculum

Grosse Pointe Public School System engages in a continuous cycle of improvement grounded in collaboration, continuity, and commitment to guiding principles.

We are anchored by our Vision: One Inclusive Community Learning Together, and our Mission: Cultivate Educational Excellence by Empowering Students, Valuing Diversity, Inspiring Curiosity, and Pushing Possibilities. GPPSS fosters an equitable educational community where every learner can realize their unique potential. Our goal is to offer students rich opportunities to develop the attitudes, values, knowledge, and skills to become engaged, contributing members of society.

Our district employs aligned practices to ensure curriculum, instructional strategies, and assessments work cohesively to maximize learning.

All students access a rigorous, relevant curriculum aligned from preschool through graduation. A broad, innovative, and evolving curriculum meets diverse needs and challenges learners to reach their fullest potential. Instruction is differentiated and culturally responsive, rooted in best practices and research. We maintain high expectations while honoring flexibility, innovation, and individual teaching styles to ensure meaningful learning in every classroom, every day. Curricular adjustments are data-informed through ongoing district wide assessments. GPPSS curriculum is developed under the leadership of the Educational Programs Leadership Council (EPLC)—a collaborative body of teachers, parents, students, and administrators.
