Niskayuna High School Program of Studies 2025-26

Introduction

The Niskayuna High School Program of Studies is provided for students and parents as a guide to educational planning. It should be read carefully as the choices available each year are considered. To make the most of the many opportunities available at Niskayuna High School, a student must plan thoughtfully. Teachers, department leaders, and school counselors are available to provide any assistance needed as a student and parent select courses and plan a program. The most important decision-maker in the process, however, is the student. The most important quality brought to the task of making choices is honest self-appraisal.
