The curriculum of MBOU Secondary School No. 2 is a component of the institution's main educational program.
The curriculum is a normative and legal document that establishes the list of subjects and the amount of study time allocated for their study at various levels of general education.
The educational program for basic general education is designed for a five-year normative learning period.
The educational program for secondary general education is designed for a two-year normative learning period.
The curriculum for grades 10-11 implements a model of universal (non-profile) education.
The duration of the academic year for grades 8-11 is 34 academic weeks.
The educational institution at the basic and secondary general education levels operates on a six-day academic week schedule.

The curriculum consists of two parts:

  • Invariant (federal component – no less than 75% of total normative time), ensuring the preservation of a unified educational space in the Russian Federation, both for the six-day and five-day academic week schedules;

  • Variable (regional component – no less than 10% and institution's component – no less than 10% of total normative time), ensuring the preservation of a unified educational space in the Kostroma region, both for the six-day and five-day academic week schedules, and maximizing the opportunities of MBOU Secondary School No. 2, the social demand, and the individual needs of students.

    The institution's component allows for the expression of the school's focus and specifics. The time allocated for the institution's component is used to implement authorial educational programs that deepen, expand knowledge, and enhance students' skills in the main sections of the federal and regional components' courses, the implementation of the "Istoki" program, conducting individual and group lessons, organizing classes with gifted and struggling students, and holding physical activity sessions (sports games, aerobics, rhythm, choreography, modern and ballroom dancing, etc.); it also covers pre-profile training for students in grades 8-9.

When conducting lessons on "Foreign Language" (grades 8-11), "Technology" (grades 8-11), "Physical Education" (grades 10-11), practical lessons in "Physics," "Chemistry," the course "Informatics and ICT," during pre-profile and profile education, the classes are divided into two groups: in urban educational institutions, when the class size exceeds 25 students.
The curriculum sets the list of subjects and the volume of academic time allocated to their study at the levels of general education and by class within the regional component of basic and secondary general education.
The federal component of the curriculum determines the number of hours allocated for studying subjects in the federal component of the state educational standard of general education.
The regional component of the curriculum is aimed at ensuring the implementation of regional educational policy by teaching the following subjects:

  • Russian language;

  • Literary reading;

  • Literature;

  • Russian language and speech culture;

  • Local literature;

  • Informatics and ICT;

  • History of the native land;

  • Social science;

  • Basics of life safety.

  1. Basic General Education.

To increase students' proficiency in modern Russian literary language in both written and oral forms and in various functional areas, 1 hour from the regional component of the basic curriculum (per subject) is allocated for the study of the "Russian Language and Speech Culture" course in grades 8-9.

The "Local Literature" subject is introduced in the regional component from grades 8 to 11, with 0.5 hours allocated for each grade. Studying this course will expand and deepen students' knowledge of the literature of the Kostroma region, helping to form and develop a creative, responsible, and competent personality.

The "History of the Native Land" subject is introduced in the regional component in grades 8-9, with 0.5 hours for each grade. The course covers the history of the Kostroma region in close connection with the history of the Motherland and will contribute to the development of a sense of patriotism and citizenship in Russia, as well as pride for the local region.

The introduction of the "Social Science" subject in grade 9 (0.5 hours) aims to expand and deepen students' knowledge of social sciences, creating conditions for improving their skills in comparing, analyzing, and evaluating social facts and phenomena.
The "Basics of Life Safety" subject is introduced in grade 9. The course content focuses on forming students' conscious and responsible attitude towards personal safety and the safety of others, helping them learn how to preserve life and health in dangerous or life-threatening conditions, and training students in first aid. The course includes both theoretical and practical aspects of safe behavior and personal protection in everyday life and various emergency situations.
Students in grades 8-9 are assessed by quarters. Quarter grades for students in grades 8-9 are based on current assessments. Quarterly assessments are conducted for subjects with 1 or more hours of academic load. For subjects with a load of 0.5 hours or less, the assessment is conducted at the end of the semester. The annual grade is determined based on quarter or semester results. The forms of intermediate assessments in transitional classes may include tests, written and oral exams, interviews, testing, protection of essays and creative works, project defenses, and other forms. The list of subjects, the choice of assessment form, and the specific timing of the annual intermediate assessment are discussed and approved at the School Pedagogical Council, and its decision is communicated to students and parents (legal representatives) at the beginning of the academic year.
