The Academic Design Program (ADP) is a standards-based, integrated approach to learning. Using the Design-Based Learning methodology, English and social science are brought together as the students work through real-world problems in search of real-world solutions. Students will see the application of math, experience the history, and enhance reading, writing and communication skills to work towards developing 21st Century thinking proficiency.
