curriculum

 
Our CURRICULUM MAP was first established in 2001 by the SCSD Art Department and District Administration (Revised 2007). It follows standards set by the NYS Education Department. This is a general outline as we modify/adopt the areas to the art class grade/course length. 
Our current class/course length is one, 10 week session (1/4 academic year).
