Academic Sequence

Academy High’s core curriculum is college-preparatory in nature and rigorous by design. The goal of Academy High’s core curriculum of academic courses is to provide every student with a solid foundation in mathematics, science, history, literature, writing, and world languages. Academic electives are courses in which students can expand their knowledge in specific areas of interest.

These classes provide students with a well-rounded education and the development of skills that will prepare them for post-secondary education and life outside of school.
