Individual Academic Mentoring
On Fridays each week, every student receives Individual Academic Mentoring with the same designated teacher each time.

Mastery Learning
Mastery Learning drives a student's experience at The Academy HS. This educational approach is based on the idea that students must achieve a high level of understanding (or "mastery") of a given concept or skill before moving on to more advanced experiences. Personalized Learning, Improved Understanding, and Confidence Building are all benefits of the Mastery Learning approach.
The Mastery Transcript is used to document each student's academic journey at The Academy HS. The student's teachers, parents, and the student himself/herself provide work samples, videos, and/or other artifacts, as "proof" of their mastery of specific concepts or skills. We believe Mastery Learning utilizing The Mastery Transcript is a more authentic way to learn and demonstrate knowledge, concepts, and skills acquired while attending our school.
