Academic Services

Elyria City Schools believes….

  • Learners thrive when school is engaging and personally meaningful.
  • All Pioneers have a voice in decisions that affect them.

The Academic Services Department is responsible for implementing, supporting and designing programming that serves and supports all students. We focus on providing learning environments and experiences that meet the needs of the whole child. We oversee the PreK-12 curriculum and ensure our instruction and resources are aligned with Ohio’s Learning standards.

Our team oversees the selection and implementation of curriculum resources and instructional strategies for all students to access and grow. We coordinate Federal Programs, including Title 1. The department is responsible for state testing, instructional technology, gifted services, ELL supports and facilitating all professional learning for our educators.

Our commitment to students is reflected through extensive course offerings and supports to instill the love of learning and desire to contribute as members of the community.
