The school year is divided into two semesters with two marking periods each. Thorough, written reports to parents are sent by each teacher at the end of each marking period and semester. There is also an Advisor Program with reports sent four times a year at the midpoints of the marking periods. Classes meet six days a week and are small in size, ranging from three to six students. In addition to regular classes, the last period of the day is set aside for individual students to work with their teachers on areas where they need extra help.
Teachers require students to come for tutorial help whenever it is needed.
Each student takes a minimum of five academic courses which meet daily. This includes a course in Reconstructive Language which is designed to improve individual language skills. Most of our students take six courses. Throughout the curriculum instruction begins with the most basic operations and proceeds to more advanced concepts. Graduation requirements for grades 9 - 12 include four credits in English, three in history, three in mathematics, two in laboratory science and one credit in art or music.
