Human beings have always had the desire to learn-to reach out beyond the limits of their experience into the unknown. This desire to learn, this search for knowledge, is what education is all about. Education is the product of many different components, one of which is the curriculum. As we shall use the term in the next few pages, curriculum can be defined as the various courses offered by a school to its students. It is the framework within which the learn-; ing process is carried out. But what do time, as represented by the hourglass, and education have in common? The purpose of e ducation is to learn; the purpose of the hourglass is to tell time. The different subjects of the curriculum, like the many grains of sand in the hourglass, are the small particles that work to achieve the purpose. As each grain of sand contributes in its small way to mark the passage of time, each course ; offered in the curriculum contributes to achieve the purpose of education-learning. In these next few pages we will explore the curriculum of Brandywine Heights. Some of the courses are new and different, while others are the same familiar subjects that high school students study everywhere. But in any case, each course is important, because like the grains of sand in the hourglass, each contributes to the main goal of Brandywine— the education of its students.
