The Freshman Academy program was developed to enrich our students' first year in high school. The program, started in 2002, is for all freshmen.
This program features:- Small class communities for both students and teachers
- Teaching teams comprised of English, Modern World History, Physics and Special Education faculty, supported by a counselor and an administrator.
- Clear and consistent expectations for students' organization and participation and interdisciplinary curriculum when possible.
This structure benefits students in these ways:- Teachers meet weekly with counselor to address individual student progress and needs.
- Interdisciplinary curriculum allows students to make connections across subject areas.
- Common organizational strategies prepare freshmen for success in a more rigorous and varied high school environment
- Freshmen develop a sense of community with each other by sharing common classes and teachers.
