Academics

College prep with signature programs

A rigorous college-preparatory program balances STEM, humanities and leadership development, with honors and AP courses.

In grades 11–12, the Introduction to Aviation course (AOPA curriculum) prepares students for the FAA Private Pilot written exam and the FAA Part 107 commercial drone license, using Garmin G100 and GNS530 flight simulators. The coastal campus also brings marine science straight out of the classroom.
