Curriculum
A variety of subjects is offered to prepare those students who plan to continue their education beyond high school and for those students who may seek employment directly upon completing high school. Through curricular offerings, extra curricular activities including a full athletic program for boys and girls, counseling, and special education services, the district aims to assist each pupil in achieving his/her goals, developing character and recognizing responsibility. Becton Regional High School offers a college preparatory program which includes several Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and career-oriented curriculum areas.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
