The Academy supports active and engaging learning experiences within 90-minute blocks for both mathematics and language arts. The small setting within the larger high school allows students and staff to form relationships that enhance learning and creates a more “family-like” atmosphere. During their Grade 9 experience, students will take an exploratory course that will survey the variety of career pathways being offered during grades 10-12. Students will choose one of these pathways that will link their educational experiences to a career interest.
