Academics
Like any other successful school system, the Christina School District recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong and responsive curriculum. It serves as the foundation for delivering a high-quality education and conveying a powerful, positive vision for our students. We understand that a robust curriculum not only equips students with the knowledge and skills they need to excel academically but also helps foster critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability.
The Christina School District Curriculum is comprised of the following Academic Programs:
Attributes of a Graduate
At Christina School District, the "Attributes of a Graduate" provides a clear framework outlining the essential knowledge, skills, experiences, and personal qualities that prepare our students for college, careers, and life beyond high school.
These Attributes define what it means to be an ideal graduate of Christina School District. Through learning, applying, and reflecting on these qualities, our students take active ownership of their growth and achievements.
Course Catalog
The District releases a High School Course Catalog annually to help students and their parents navigate the road to graduation.
The catalog presents all of Christina's offerings in one place, with consistent policies and procedures for scheduling, graduation requirements and other important topics for students at Christiana High School, Glasgow High School, Newark High School, Sarah Pyle Academy and the CSD Virtual Academy.
The catalog offers a glance at each high school's offerings, including signature pathways, AP and dual enrollment courses, world languages and athletics. Course descriptions and prerequisites have been updated and standardized with a clear alignment to pathways and core content areas.
