The Great Expectations program provides character education, focusing on life skills such as respect, responsibility and citizenship. Daily assemblies give students the opportunity to demonstrate these life lessons and be rewarded for their efforts. Other leadership activities include a Student Council organization, the Safety Patrol, and a Peer Mediation program. The Select Choir of Academy Central travels to various school and civic functions to perform. Each Friday afternoon at Academy Central is set aside for the Fine Arts Network program.
Students travel in groups to explore subjects such as dance, poetry, storytelling and art.
Strong volunteer activity can be seen at Academy Central in the main offices and classrooms. This active PTA organization holds regular fundraising activities to provide classroom materials for teachers, and most recently, trees and shrubbery for campus landscaping. Click here for boundary map.
