This classic study examines the purpose, structure, and administration of high school programs, with a detailed look at New York City and comparisons to ten other cities. It helps readers see how curricula evolved and why time, flexibility, and specialization matter in secondary education.

The book explains a clear framework for courses of study, general and special, and analyzes how schools organize, manage, and revise these programs. It includes practical recommendations for administrators and teachers, with attention to how curricula meet diverse student needs and civic goals.

Insights into general and special courses, and how to align them with student interests
Guidance for planning programs, administration, and district wide adoption
