Curriculum

Mission: To empower every student to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally through inclusive practices and innovative learning.

Vision: RTMSD students will be curious, confident, and adaptable learners who think critically, communicate authentically, and solve problems creatively.

At Rose Tree Media School District, our curriculum is designed to provide every student with a rigorous, connected learning experience from kindergarten through grade 12.

Developed collaboratively by teachers and administrators, our curriculum is grounded in the Pennsylvania Academic Standards and PA Core Standards. Using the Understanding by Design (UbD) framework, we begin with clear student outcomes and align learning experiences to help students meet high academic expectations.

District curriculum documents outline the essential knowledge and skills students will learn in each content area and course. While teachers tailor instruction to meet the needs of their students, these documents ensure continuity, progression, and equitable access to meaningful learning across the district.

Curriculum development is an ongoing, multi-year effort. As documents are completed, they will be added to this site as part of our commitment to transparency and excellence in curriculum and instruction.
