The Fairview School District recognizes the value of the Pennsylvania Academic Standards as a foundation to a great education. All of the curricula delivered to our students are aligned to these standards. We do not feel that additional standards are warranted as these represent a composite of a quality education. We intend to continue to use the PA Academic Standards as a framework of our curricula and program for the duration of this Strategic Plan.
