At the Carl C. Icahn Charter School is to use the Core Knowledge curriculum, developed by E.D. Hirsch, to provide students with a rigorous academic program offered in an extended day/year setting. Students will graduate armed with the skills and knowledge to participate successfully in the most rigorous academic environments, and will have a sense of personal and community responsibility.
The school employs a variety of real life applications and hands-on learning opportunities to make the curriculum "immediate" for children. It maintains high standards for instruction through on-going and professional development. The school stresses the importance of parental involvement (including parent enrichment classes to bolster their capacity to promote education at home) to support the curriculum.
