Our Curriculum Guide

The 2025-26 Curriculum Guide is more than a course catalog — it’s your roadmap to opportunity, challenge, and success at Colonie Central High School.

Dear Students and Families,

The 2025–2026 Curriculum Guide outlines the wide range of academic opportunities available at Colonie Central High School. We encourage students, families, and counselors to use this resource to thoughtfully plan a program of study that offers both challenge and the potential for success.

Our faculty and counselors are here to support you in making informed decisions. Please take advantage of their insight and consider faculty recommendations carefully, especially when selecting advanced coursework.

To explore the guide, use the "Pathways" tab for sample four-year plans aligned to career goals, or browse courses by subject area under the "Departments" menu.

Wishing you a successful year of planning and learning ahead.

Bill Behrle
Executive Principal, CCHS

Academic Standards

In an effort to help students maintain an active involvement in the academic program of Colonie Central High School and meet the increased New York State academic requirements, minimum enrollment standards have been established. Each student in Grade 9, 10 and 11 must enroll in a minimum of six credits plus physical education each semester. Each student in Grade 12 must enroll in a minimum of five credits plus physical education each semester. Courses listed in this booklet will be offered contingent upon meeting the district’s minimum enrollment requirements and staffing capabilities. All courses are capped at a specific number of students. Priority enrollment will be given to upper class students (i.e. 12th grade first, 11th grade next, etc.). The cost of college credits are estimated subject to college discretion.
