Curriculum
This is the backbone of the educational setting and is supported through a number of initiatives from Professional Learning Communities, comprised of teachers and principals collaborating to improve student achievement, to the introduction of Saturday School. Student achievement is at the core of every enrichment program that is pursued by the district's Educational Services department.
A cohesive and focused curriculum is in place at YPS and teaching staff continues to participate in extensive work sessions to create a successful and seamless transition for students as they move through the educational process. Curriculum mapping, a rigorous learning pace at all grade levels and supplemental programs to support students who are lagging in their core classes are hallmarks of the YPS learning experience. The district has adopted the philosophy that "Failure is Not an Option" and is evident in the focus of professional development sessions and the attitude of all principals, teachers and support staff. Our goal is to provide students with an excellent education along with extracurricular enhancements that will develop their minds, shape their character and encourage integrity.
