Curriculum
Planned instruction in the following areas is provided to every student in the high school program: language arts, mathematics, science and technology, social studies, environment and ecology, the arts, the use of applications of computers and software, health, safety and physical education, and LifeSmarts. The following planned instruction is available to every student in the high school program: vocational-technical education, business education, world languages, technology education, and college level advanced placement courses.
There is a wide range of elective courses; many classes run with fewer students, often 10 to 30, than the maximum the state uses in its formula to determine building capacity.
Courses are designed to provide a general education and to prepare students for entrance into college or employment. Students enrolled in vocational and technical courses pursue their academic work at Salisbury High School and their laboratory work at Lehigh Career and Technical Institute. Honors courses are offered in English, social studies, mathematics and science. Advance Placement courses are offered in biology, calculus AB, English composition and literature, European history, and United States history. In partnership with Lehigh Carbon Community College, Salisbury High School offers dual enrollment courses in science and art. Distance Learning in science and mathematics are available.

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)
