Flexible Education Plans
City Academy’s goal is for all students to graduate from high school ready for college, careers, citizenship, and lifelong learning, and ready to pursue the future of their choosing.
At City Academy each student has a Personal Education Plan (PEP) within which students design a daily and quarterly schedule of classes that is right for their interests and goals as well as for their best learning progress. The schedule can allow for later start times based on student needs and preferences. Students can also incorporate self-paced learning and/or extend their learning day to take advantage of even more classes, teams, and other learning opportunities.
The student Personal Education Plan (PEP):
Includes flexibility for personalizing scheduling and course choices for each student’s finest learning progress.
Is a distinctive and essential feature of a City Academy education.
Helps students become self-directed lifelong learners.
Development is supported through the Advisory Program
Operates on a weekly to 6-year scale.
Is integrated with any other student plans, such as IEPs or 504 Plans.
We want our graduates to be prepared so that as many doors as possible are open to them.
