The EDGE Program at Beechwood Independent Schools combines research and planning with industry and postsecondary institutions to create Core Concepts that guide Pre-K through 12th-grade curriculum. At the start of high school, students get to choose a minor 3-year course of study that culminates with a 4th-year internship, early college, or dual credit that is in alignment with their minor. Throughout their education, students are supported by a team of educators and seminar classes that connect learning and assist students with their pathways.
