Academic Advisors work with each student to develop an Individual Career and Academic Plan (ICAP). It is designed to identify potential career pathways, create a course map to get there, and target post-secondary oportunities. The school encourages parents to monitor their child’s progress toward meeting graduation requirements. Parents must help the school to ensure that all graduation requirements are met by the student’s senior year.
In order to graduate from the school, students must complete at least twenty-four credits including the following subject areas and credit requirements:
