Academic Standards
The Pennsylvania State Board of Education has adopted academic standards in 12 subject areas. The academic standards are benchmark measures that define what students should know and be able to do at specified grade levels and reflect the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in life after high school, in both post-secondary education and a globally competitive workforce. These standards are used as the basis for curriculum and instruction at QVSD.
Pennsylvania Standards-Aligned System
