The Curriculum & Instruction Department is responsible for guiding the development of the curriculum for the Ladue School District. Missouri’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) sets the learning standards for each grade level. We then form committees of teachers under the guidance of a curriculum coordinator to write a curriculum aligned to Missouri’s Learning Standards (MLS) to teach to our students at each grade level. Our curriculum coordinators and instructional coaches as well as reading and math specialists also train and provide feedback to principals and teachers in the delivery of the curriculum. We use both state and local assessments to measure progress toward each learning standard.

In addition, the district’s Student Services Department supports and plays a vital role in ensuring the needs of students are met and the district remains in compliance with the county, state and federal guidelines and laws that govern us. For more specific information about these services and contact information for this department, visit the Student Services section of this website.
