CORE CONTENT CURRICULUM 
 
Students in Paramount Unified School District students will be provided daily instruction that is standards-based, relevant, personalized, and rigorous. To this end, the PUSD curricular program-of-study follows instructional standards guided by the State of California and adopts resources that are determined as high quality by the Department of Education.

In 2014, Paramount Unified School District adopted the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) system in an effort to help prepare our students for college and beyond. Currently, AVID is being applied across the district throughout our various elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, alike.
