Tri-State Area Schools Integrate 9/11 into Curriculums

High school juniors at Bergen County’s River Dell High, a NJ school that lost three students in the World Trade Center collapse, are piloting a 9/11 curriculum that the September 11 Education Trust has developed over three years with Queens College professors. The Trust hopes to roll out nationwide a curriculum this spring to be taught in history, sociology, or psychology courses.

Officials from the National September 11 Memorial & Museum launched a pilot program to be used in NY, NJ, and PA schools during anniversary remembrances. They aired the program’s eight-minute film to students at Millennium High School, the first new school to open in Lower Manhattan after 9/11.
