ELA Mission Statement
The English Language Arts (ELA) Program at PCSST is grounded in the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, with a strong focus on reading literature, reading informational texts, writing, speaking and listening, and language. Our curriculum integrates the use of technology to deepen students’ engagement with texts and to enhance their reading and writing skills—preparing them for the demands of the 21st century.
In addition, consistent attention is given to preparing students for key assessments, including the NJSLA, SAT, and ACT. This test readiness is thoughtfully embedded into every standards-based unit of study. The program also offers a range of honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as electives designed to reflect students’ interests and support their academic growth.
