Our curriculum provides students with an educational atmosphere that integrates the 21st century skills of communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking across all grade levels. Students have access to technology such as laptop computers and/or Chromebooks and wireless Internet and Google Classroom to learn and work with diverse sources of information technology to obtain information, communicate, and solve problems.

Assessment

As per state requirements, The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, STAAR testing, is administered to SMA students.

Seashore Middle Academy has integrated use of IXL for core classes. Individual student assessment is an important tool in student placement, instruction, and curriculum.

IXL provides a curriculum that is fully aligned to the state standards for Texas and adopted textbooks. For any lesson or learning objective, SMA staff will be able to find the exact skill to support your student’s needs. IXL supports differentiated instruction through a deeply adaptive curriculum. Within each skill there are up to 12 levels of finely-tuned scaffolding that students progress through, ensuring they are always challenged at the right level.
