Every state has standards for education that reflect what students are expected to know or do as a result of what they learn in class. The reason standards exist is to attempt to ensure that all classrooms and all schools use the same expectations for every student. High-quality education should be accessible to all students nationwide, and state standards are enacted to help.
In February of 2020, Florida took bold steps to update our standards for every student. Governor DeSantis said at the time, “Florida has officially eliminated Common Core. I truly think this is a great next step for students, teachers, and parents,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. … Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards were made by Florida teachers for Florida students, and I know they will be a model for the rest of the nation.”
The Florida B.E.S.T. Standards were created by Florida teachers with the intention of inclusivity and transparency for all we serve. MGM Academy is heartily meeting these stringent standards set forth by our beloved home state of Florida, to enable every one of our exceptional students access to the highest quality virtual education.
