Philosophy and Goals of the Independent Study Program
Within our comprehensive high school, our primary goal is to have students receive a state of the art education in person and on campus.
Students and families have had different learning and life experiences over the past few years.
We recognize that some students are going to continue to need opportunities and support in an alternate learning environment to assist with the transition to a full time return to in person learning.
