PROGRAM OF STUDIES
It is the philosophy of Marple Newtown High School that a student should have a program of studies which will permit him/her to function effectively not only in his community but also in all society. It is with this thought in mind that the high school provides students with a great degree of flexibility and individualization in the planning of their educational career. Other than the required courses stated in the section marked Graduation Requirements, a student's schedule is an individual matter.

Students are encouraged to enroll in five different disciplines each semester. In addition, EVERY STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO ENROLL IN A MINIMUM OF THIRTY PERIODS EACH SEMESTER.
(*)Students are also required to attain a score in the basic range or higher on the PSSA or on a district level assessment that parallels the PSSA. Students who do not achieve at the basic level in any area during their junior year will be given the opportunity to be retested on the PSSA in that area in the fall of their senior year and, if they have not attained the basic level at that time, will then be given a district developed assessment in the spring of their senior year.
