The English Language Arts Curriculum of Freehold Township Schools is focused on providing and integrated curriculum that is aligned with the Common Core State Standards. A data driven balanced literacy approach is utilized, which integrates reading, writing, language, speaking and listening to foster instruction that

encourages students to think critically and creatively. Curriculum documents provide a road map for teachers and staff, but objectives/lessons are adaptable and allow for teacher autonomy and flexibility based on students' needs. Instructional choices and student-led goal setting provide the foundation that students need to become avid and skilled readers, writers, inquirers and stake holders in their own growth of learning. Student choice and independence within the framework of the curriculum is emphasized in order to foster an individualized experience for all learners.
