Types of courses available to Academy students
The Academy program is a supplement to -- not a substitute for -- a student's high school education. Therefore, students should take advantage of their high school offerings first, then take courses through the Academy to expand and broaden their academic experiences. Students who have completed the college preparatory requirements in a subject area will be eligible to take classes in that area through the Academy.
