The program inherits the essence of the U.S. Education System, which is built on a selective list of standards from the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Common Core State Standards – CCSS

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is an education reform program that has been in place in U.S. schools since 2014. CCSS was originally built for English and Mathematics. This is a set of standards assembled from experts, to identify the knowledge and skills that young people need to have in order to achieve success in the university environment and work later.

The New Generation Scientific Standard (NGSS) is based on the “Science Education Framework 12”. NGSS was developed by the National Association of Science Teachers, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Research Council. NGSS improves science education through 3D learning: Cross-course concepts, scientific and technical practices, core ideas.
