The Star Academy Program is a school-within-a-school for disengaged students (typically overage eighth and ninth grade students) who have previously failed one or more grades. Students engage in non-traditional instructional methods to complete two grades in one year.
The program employs standards-based curriculum in science, mathematics, English, and social studies. Students navigate through a rigorous progression of varied instructional methods incorporating hands-on learning, real-world learning experiences, individualized instruction, team instruction, and personal development. Additionally, parents, teachers, and students are taught how to communicate productively and work together as a team in a safe, happy, and productive environment.
The Star Academy Program successfully reengages students who may have lost hope or experienced personal, academic, or social challenges in their lives. The Star Academy Program provides these students with an opportunity to recapture a sense of purpose, regain their self-esteem, and succeed academically.
