ACADEMIC VALUES

 

North Lakes Academy 7-12 offers a 'life" preparatory curriculum that focuses on a well-rounded education to prepare them for wherever their path takes them - college, community college, trades/tech schools, apprenticeship, employment. Students are provided the opportunity to begin enrolling into Advanced Placement (AP) classes in their 9th grade year. This can continue with AP and or College in the Schools (CIS) classes through their 12th grade year while possibly earning well over a first year worth of college credits.

Beyond regular exams to display evidence of learning, all English, Math, Science, Social Studies, World Languages, Fine Arts, and Physical Education curricula at this level offer skill development of communication based on their understanding and knowledge of subject matter.  Skills developed will include: building, changing, composing, creating, designing, formulating, hypothesizing, planning, predicting, producing, revising, writing, criticizing, defending, and evaluating.  NLA values EQ just as much as IQ, and the Profile of a Graduate skills are embedded into all lessons and daily habits implemented within our community.

 

High school students are required to earn a minimum of 28 credits to earn a diploma.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) through our curriculum, Physical Activity/Education, and Fine Arts are required classes for 9th-12th grades. Band, Choir, and/or Visual Arts provide opportunities in the Fine Arts classes.
