Courses

The Academy program is meant to supplement—not substitute for— a student’s high school education. Therefore, students should take advantage of the 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.

What are course prerequisites for Academy students?

Students wishing to take Must complete these high school courses
English 4 units of college prep English
Math The highest level of math available at the student's high school
Natural Science 2 units of science with a lab
Social Science 2 units of social science
Foreign language 2 units of foreign language (can be different than the language you wish to take through the Academy)
Visual or Performing Arts 1 unit of visual or performing art

One unit = Carnegie Unit/year-long course in high school

Students also need to meet course prerequisites, such as math placement scores for a math or science course.

Students are not guaranteed enrollment in any specific course through the Academy. Course enrollment will be affected by a number of factors, including:

  • The number of seats available in a course
  • The time that courses are offered during the day
  • Restrictions placed by academic departments
