Academic Pathways

Secondary Language Arts serves to provide resources, professional learning, and 
support to all Broward County middle and high schools, as well as educational 
centers and K-8/6-12 schools. The goal of the Secondary Language Arts Department 
is to ensure that the Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) are taught with fidelity 
and that the reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language strands are 
interwoven throughout daily instruction.

In Secondary Mathematics, our curriculum provides rich, challenging opportunities 
for our students that prepares them for success in college and career. In our math 
classes, students explore and describe observations, explain their thinking, and ask 
questions. They are encouraged to use multiple approaches to solve problems and 
show different ways of thinking. It is our mission to matriculate/graduate/prepare 
problem-solvers who view challenges as an opportunity to think flexibly, 
innovatively, and efficiently.

Through laboratory and technological experiences students are engaged in 
understanding the nature of scientific phenomena and how it correlates to the 
world around us. Middle school curriculum introduces earth, life, and physical 
sciences and making real-world connections through scientific inquiry.

Students in Secondary Social Studies courses have the opportunity to engage in 
learning high-level content and skills as required by the State of Florida Next 
Generation Sunshine State Standards for Social Studies integrated with the 
Language Arts Florida Standards Literacy in History/Social Studies. Students learn 
concepts and content in the areas of American History, World History, Geography, 
Economics, Financial Literacy, Civics, and Government through a variety of required 
and elective courses.
