King’s College Student Teachers Assigned to Local Schools for Spring 2025

King’s College today announced that 25 student teaching candidates have been assigned to local school districts throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania as part of their certification requirements.

This semester, students have been assigned to the Wilkes-Barre Area, Wyoming Area, Wyoming Valley West, Lake Lehman, Nanticoke, Dunmore, Riverside, Abington Heights, Pittston Area, and Hazleton school districts.

Other offerings include a five-year program that leads to a bachelor’s degree in PK-4 and special education PK-12, as well as standalone master’s degree programs in curriculum and instruction, special education, and reading.
