Academic Overview
Students study in small classrooms with teachers offering assistance to meet their individual needs. Students are capable of mastery at a faster pace because of the availability of tutoring.
Various electives are offered such as speech, music, foreign language, drama, dance, and home economics. Students may obtain a general diploma, college preparatory or honors diploma, as well as a vocational diploma for those desiring to enter trade school or school of arts. Students are prepared for SAT or ACT exams and scores are sent to the various colleges of their choice. Diagnostic testing may be done to determine student’s academic level and areas of weakness thus allowing any gaps to be bridged.
