In High School students take a variety of classes in order to earn the credits required for an Accredited Cognia high school diploma. The high school diploma is typically studied over the course of three to four years, from grade 9 to grade 12.

Our curriculum goes beyond the classroom and anticipates the world in which our graduates will work and thrive. 

American Common Core: The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in Mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. 

The standards are:

• Research- and evidence-based

• Clear, understandable, and consistent

• Aligned with college and career expectations

• Based on rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher-order thinking skills

• Built upon the strengths and lessons of current state standards
