Welcome to our New Student intake page! At Suncoast, our High School Team works in partnership with a family and their student's Education Specialist (ES) to help create a Graduation Plan for each student based on their graduation path and course preferences. The Grad Plan is a living document that our teachers use to help create the student's Independent Study Agreement (ISA). The Grad Plan is also used in support of a student's graduation goals throughout their time at Suncoast.
The steps for our intake process for new students are listed in the Table of Contents, below. We encourage you to read through these steps before reaching out to your Education Specialist (ES).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us: highschool@suncoastprep.org
Determining a student's graduation path is an essential component to helping determine their high school goals, along with their courses.
The High School Team will initiate an email to the family of a new high school student with information about our graduation paths:
Visit our Graduation Guide page to explore Grad Path options in depth.
Reply to the High School Team with your student's preferred graduation path.
We recommend the A-G/College Prep graduation path for all incoming 9th grade students.
