Curriculum Highlights
An A/B block schedule with four 88 minute blocks maximizes learning. In middle school, English & Math are scheduled every day, doubling instruction &
allowing students to complete high school Algebra I & Algebra II during middle school. Middle school extra curriculars include traditional and science
oriented clubs and interscholastic sports. The high school offers a rigorous Biotechnology and Allied Health curriculum at the center of a traditional high
school experience. Business and academic partners enhance our curriculum in the classroom and through job shadowing and mentoring. Our
comprehensive interscholastic athletic program is aligned with our therapeutic science program. Advanced Placement (AP) classes and science electives
enrich our course offerings. Extra curriculars are aligned with the science magnet (i.e. Robotics club, Math League, and Science Olympiad), as well as more
traditional activities (i.e. newspaper, yearbook, band, chorus, National Honor Society).
