English at Pennsbury

English Department Philosophy

The Pennsbury School District English Curriculum is founded on the premise that all students can learn. We encourage Pennsbury's students to see themselves as readers, writers, and responsible, creative communicators through language. Always responsive to the individual's developmental level and readiness for learning, the curriculum is a fluid, flexible, and adaptable program of instruction. We, at Pennsbury, have made a conscious decision to design an English curriculum that is academically rigorous. Based on Pennsylvania and national standards for reading, writing, speaking, and listening, the Pennsbury English curriculum adheres to the notion that all language-learning activity involves the processes of constructing meaning.
