GENERAL CURRICULUM INFORMATION
CyberLynx Correspondence Program respects and honors parental choice with regards to academic curriculum and instructional methodology. We support the use of a wide variety of traditional and non-traditional curriculum materials. However, because we are State funded, there are restrictions on what student allotments can be used to purchase. Therefore, while some curriculum series and materials may be approved (by the Nenana City School District School Board) for use, they may not necessarily be eligible for reimbursement.

 

Please refer to the Approved Curriculum List to see which materials have already been approved.
