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, Global Studies, Biology faculty
- Interdisciplinary curriculum complemented by clear and consistent expectations for students' organization and participation.
This structure benefits students in these ways:
- Teachers meet weekly with a team 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.
