High School Instruction
Our students have access to have meaningful, in-depth experiences in service learning and career exploration as well as opportunities to experience and explore science, technology, engineering, visual and performing arts.
We offer core classes as well as a variety of electives. Many classes provide students the opportunity to earn college credits while in high school. Students also have the opportunity to earn an Honors, Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate diploma by taking advanced-level courses that demonstrate the ability to succeed in a rigorous curriculum. We also offer a wide range of academic clubs and co-curricular activities from music to drama to sports.
