CURRICULUM
The Manchester Academic Standards represent the highest level of academic expectations for all students in the Manchester School District. Using the New Hampshire College and Career Ready Standards as a foundation, over 60 English Language Arts and Mathematics teachers from grade pre-K to 12 collaborated with curriculum specialists, academic standards professionals, and research professors from colleges and universities to research, debate, and collate America's best academic standards for learning. The result is encapsulated in this document of what professional educators and community members believe are the best for their students.
