Curriculum & Instruction

The mission of the PVRHSD is to prepare our students for successful college and/or career experiences with the needed mindset, skills, structures, and knowledge to accomplish that goal.

To check for understanding and/or competency of curriculum standards using a balance of methods that give useful feedback to inform growth.

Using departmental specific methods under the leadership of the departmental supervisor, this feedback leads to a summative grade which is an evaluation of student competency with the curriculum and associated standards.

The main area of responsibility of this office is to monitor the district curriculum, making certain that it is equivalent in both high schools and that it meets the needs of students for the 21st century. 

The curriculum of the Pascack Valley Regional High School District is designed to provide students with a rigorous and meaningful educational experience that prepares them for both future college and career experiences. Students are provided with a firm grounding in the New Jersey Student Learning Standards while independent and critical thinking skills, as well as oral and written expression are emphasized. College preparatory, Honors, Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment courses challenge all students to meet high district expectations.
