Overview Paragraph

ScholarsÂ’ Academy is an academically accelerated high school that prepares students for college and careers of the 21st Century. Comprised of multi-talented students, our diverse student body is challenged by an ambitious curriculum in English, math, science, social studies, Spanish language, and the arts. College level or Advanced Placement (AP) courses are available starting in sophomore year. Teachers work closely with students on an individual basis within a school-wide cooperative group structure to ensure their success. High school students follow a strict dress policy and students are expected to perform at a high level academically. Students participate in educational trips and events such as March to College and Spirit Week.
