Welcome to the Shaler Area School District, where our mission is to deliver a high-quality core curriculum in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. We also offer a wide array of stimulating learning experiences through numerous special area courses. Our district is dedicated to equipping all students with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in the 21st century. 

Every year, we meticulously ensure that each curricular area aligns with clearly defined learning standards. These standards guide classroom instruction and assessment, delineating the essential skills, knowledge, and understandings that all students need to become well-educated citizens. By focusing on these standards, we emphasize the critical concepts within each subject area. Additionally, we leverage data from both classroom and state assessments to inform our instruction and monitor student progress toward achieving these standards. 

Our dynamic curriculum renewal process ensures that the core curriculum is regularly updated to remain aligned with these standards and responsive to the evolving needs of 21st-century learners. 

We recognize that student success extends beyond academics. Therefore, we have established robust support systems to ensure all students are healthy, safe, supported, engaged, and challenged. Our commitment to professional development for administrators and teachers ensures continuous improvement in educational practices and outcomes.
