Aspire Program

The goal of the Aspire program is to provide an academically challenging and supportive environment to motivate and instruct students who have experienced difficulty achieving success in the traditional school setting. To achieve this goal, students work with selected teachers who provide optimum personal attention and give access to a range of high quality resources. The program teaches and reinforces positive social behaviors necessary for students to become successful community members. Interested students must apply to the program.  

Applicants are selected by a committee of teachers, counselors, and administrators. School counselors have information about the program and the application process. Students select courses in their areas of strength and interest from the High School Program of Studies, in addition to core academic courses. Juniors and seniors may also choose a program from the Capital Region BOCES Career and Technical School.
