Curriculum

PA leadership strives to provide the best educational materials available to our students. To achieve that goal, our teachers are encouraged to review curriculum from many different publishers and select the materials with the finest content that work optimally in our cyber environment.

Our curriculum meets all Pennsylvania state standards and materials are selected from multiple publishers: Glencoe, Harcourt, Holt, Houghton Mifflin, Macmillan/McGraw-Hill, Pearson/Prentice Hall and Scott Foresman, to name a few. Students receive physical textbooks, storybooks and novels and, in many cases, access to the identical books online. Special kits are provided for our art and science courses. Additionally, our courses utilize the fullest extent of supplemental educational resources available on the Internet.

Our curriculum materials serve as the foundation at PALCS, but the greatest strength of this curriculum resides with the teachers who work with this material - they develop their own unique courses, deliver instruction, make and grade assignments and interact with students on a daily basis. After reading about our courses, you may wish to meet the teachers.
