School Notes
PMHS offers a truly unique and exciting secondary education
program not available elsewhere in the Philadelphia area. Our
education is based upon a traditional secondary school curriculum
combined with sound, up-to-date education principles, including the
encouragement of multiple learning methods, an alternative school
calendar, block scheduling, standards-based instruction, an
integrated curriculum, and inclusive classes. Educational program
includes standard PA Curriculum Multiple Learning Styles. We
recognize that students attain knowledge individually through
different learning styles and at different rates of speed. Students
are encouraged to approach the academic disciplines using their
respective learning strengths. Students are exposed to oral,
visual, tactile, and written learning modes, and encouraged to
study and learn in any combination which they find most effective
for the mastery of each subject. This teaching and learning
approach reduces frustration by creating a friendly educational
environment. Students at PMHS are given the opportunity to learn
according to their individual capability without penalty. A
multiple learning approach avoids the trap of pre-determining who
will be classified as "academic", "general" or "other".
