The 9-12 curriculum represents various levels of the same subject matter in order to address the academic needs of all students. A curriculum that is presented using different media such as texts, audio visual materials, computers and hands on experience, encourages learning by taking into account diverse learning styles. Our staff recognizes that all students do not learn at the same pace or through the same learning modalities. The primary responsibility of the student is to complete the 21 portfolios required for receiving a diploma. Quality and depth are major criteria for portfolio evaluations.
Students orally present their portfolios to a five person graduation committee for evaluation.
Graduation is, thus, dependent on demonstrated knowledge and mastery of skills. They are enrolled in the Comprehensive Competencies Program which addresses reading, math, science, social studies and language. They are placed in subjects where deficiencies has been documented by a standardized test. Students are tested and benchmarked at each level of mastery. Credits can be earned at an accelerated rate if mastery of skills is demonstrated.
