The school also has a consumer science area, art room, computer room, shop areas, and music classrooms.
The curriculum reflects a strong academic program at each grade level which includes Reading, Mathematics, English, Science, and Social Studies. The educational program is enhanced through a wide range of Related Arts experiences for students that include Foreign Languages (German, French, and Spanish), Art , Shop (Wood and Metal), Music (Chorus, Band, and Orchestra), Consumer Science (Sewing and Cooking), and Computers.
Students have an opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities: Student Council, Art Club, Yearbook, Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science, and Tutoring. At the seventh and eighth grade levels, students also have the opportunity to participate in PIAA sports which include Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball.
