Pennwood's Extended 3-Week Connections Term

All Pennwood students take part in in a three-week Connections Term (“C-Term”) in March, in addition to the standard 180 school days. This session helps build a school culture that emphasize the importance of career education and work standards. Partnering with Drexel University's Goodwin College of Professional Studies, high school students who are on track for graduation will participate in project-based learning, while students in grades K-8, will complete a career and college preparation course based on the Pennsylvania Career Education and Work Standards. All students will undergo test preparation during the session. When necessary, students may focus on remediation or credit recovery during this term.
