Creating a Culture of Excellence and Acceleration

Our academy structure allows students to explore various career fields - expanding on their curiosities and shared interests with peers. At Christa McAuliffe, we offer students additional opportunities with our unique six-day cycle programming. This allows students to receive additional coursework in technology and the arts, as well as academy-specific electives. Our three academies include Business & Law, Scientific Research, and Arts & Humanities. For Scientific Research, additional electives may include Sports Management, Civic Engineering, and Science Olympiad. For Business & Law, additional electives may include Debate, Constitutional Law, and Business Marketing. For Arts & Humanities, additional electives may include Theater, StageCraft, and Digital Design.

Our commendable faculty and staff, led by an empowered ILT, decide and shape new school initiatives with consideration, collaboration and great thought. The administration strongly trusts and supports their teachers to help them improve their craft. In response, the teachers create progressive, researched-based professional development and activities that can directly impact classroom lessons and student achievement; they are central to the decision-making and implementation.
