At Martin Luther School, the student is at the center of learning. Across our curriculum, students engage in challenging activities designed to draw from their interests and create opportunities to discover new passions and talents. We develop four crucial skills: collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. These skills are vital for students to become life-long learners in our rapidly changing world.
Curriculum
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
Our core belief is that learning deepens when students think, talk, read, and write about authentic texts across many different instructional contexts. Our curriculum is built on the science of reading, with a variety of strategies to support emerging readers and challenged advanced students.
MATH
Our program, aligned to the PA Core Standards, emphasizes procedural skills and conceptual understanding to ensure students are learning and applying the critical information to succeed at higher levels.
SCIENCE
Science lessons follow the NextGen standards for scientific inquiry and understanding. We encourage students to think like scientists.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Our curriculum follows broad themes, including geography, economics, government, and historical analysis skills with an emphasis on providing multiple perspectives.
MUSIC AND ART
Our exploratory music program provides a full musical landscape and exposes children to a variety of genres and instruments. Our multimedia arts program fosters the development of artistic skills and cultivates creative expression.
PE/HEALTH/ATHLETICS
Our health and physical education curriculum follow the American Standards for Health Safety and Physical Education, providing students with knowledge and skills for a physically active and healthy life. We are proud to offer middle and high school students the opportunity to participate in sports competitions through our membership in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) and Penn-Jersey Athletic Association.
MEDIA STUDIES
Our librarian sources current books and best practices in this area. All classes have equal access to both regularly scheduled library time as well as research opportunities.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology is integrated into curriculum and instruction in many ways. We offer platforms to support and extend students’ academic work.
Family Consumer Science
Family and Consumer Science (FCS) is an interdisciplinary field that teaches practical life skills related to personal and family wellbeing. Formerly known as “home
economics,” FCS blends culinary arts, nutrition, child development, personal finance, interior design, and relationships. Its goal is to prepare our students with these essential life skills
