Curriculum 

The River Edge School District is committed to providing a rich and rigorous curriculum so that all students can achieve at the highest levels, while developing as responsible citizens, who respect individuality. Our curriculum is designed to help students develop skills and learn core content through active, meaningful experiences that will lead to lasting understanding and the ability to apply and use knowledge in new contexts. 

Our curriculum is aligned to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards. Each area of the curriculum contains identified standards for learning. These standards help to guide classroom instruction and assessment. The standards articulate the skills and knowledge we believe all students need in order to become educated, responsible, and productive citizens.

The River Edge curriculum is revised regularly to ensure that the curriculum is aligned with identified New Jersey academic standards. In addition, we seek to integrate college and career readiness standards. Practical and relevant real-life experiences are integrated into our curriculum and learning environment. We use New Jersey’s Social Emotional Competencies to ensure our students are healthy and well, and we give our students opportunities to use cutting edge technology in order to prepare them for the future. Our students leave our schools well prepared for Middle School, High School, and beyond.
