Humanities Academy Junior Year
The Humanities Academy is a program that allows students to take humanities courses (English, history, Spanish) in an academy setting. The goals of the Academy are to create close connections between students, teachers, parents, and the community; to give students more consistency in expectations and continuity in curriculum; and to use performance as a basis for assessment and evaluation. The Humanities Academy focuses on the acquisition of cultural knowledge, values,and wisdom essential for the well-rounded individual in the 21st century.
In Humanities, Juniors take US History.
This program is rigorous but is not just for college bound students. It was created for self-directed students who are serious about their education and who want some flexibility in their daily schedule and course work.
The 11th graders will have core subjects on campus as well as opportunities to work onprojects outside of the traditional classroom.
