WHAT IS THE ACADEMY MODEL?
All entering 8th graders select an academy based on their interests. It's kind of like the "houses" of Hogwarts, but students are selected through a lottery process instead of a sorting hat! Our academies focus mostly on 9th/10th grade and they are based on core courses. In electives, all academies are blended. The academies include:
- The Academy for Classical Studies
- The Academy for Design & Technology
- The Academy for Global Studies
- The Academy for Science & Innovation
