The Freshman Academy

The Freshman Academy has been created to meet the various needs and challenges which incoming freshman encounter as they begin their high school experience. This comprehensive program will provide a nurturing environment where all students will have the opportunity to build a strong academic and social foundation that is necessary for future success in high school and beyond. Freshman will further sharpen their skills and acquire base knowledge in core subject areas enabling them to branch out into personal areas of interest.  Students will be on teams for their core courses, allowing teachers and students to develop a positive, strong, and supportive environment where student success is the focal point.

 During their freshman year, students will typically take English 1, World Studies, Math, Physical Science, World Language, Freshman writing, and elective courses. These core courses will begin the construction of a solid academic foundation upon which all other courses will be built. For their future success, it is essential that students acquire the knowledge and skills taught in these initial courses.
