Project AERO | Common Core Plus

American Education Reaches Out (AERO) is a project supported by the United States Department of Education's Office of Overseas Schools, which establishes an implementation framework for international American schools which offer a standards-based U.S. curriculum.

Aligned with Common Core standards and Next Generation Science Standards, AERO is considered to be "Common Core Plus," providing an "enduring understanding, essential questions and learning progression."

At Dunecrest American School, our U.S. curriculum from Elementary School to High School is based on AERO | Common Core Plus standards, which also provide a successful transition for students who enroll in the IB Diploma Programme in High School.
