strong emphasis on literacy across the curriculum and direct skill instruction will comprise the course structure.
AC. - Academic The Academic level is college preparatory instruction for students who are working near or at grade level and have
an interest in pursuing some form of post-secondary study. Students will be expected to work independently outside of class.
