Unique Programs
Covid-19 and ASD 2019-2020 On March 7, 2020 and for the remainder of the year, all students transitioned into virtual learning that provided both synchronous and asynchronous learning platforms. 2020-2021 ASD adopted an 80/20% Blended Learning model with students in school for 4 days and virtual for 1 day each week. Extra-curricular activities were limited. All sporting activities were suspended and student organizations were virtual. 2021-2022 ASD has resumed 100% in person learning.
Each of the following programs are application based:
AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA Students choose from 23 Advanced Placement courses including Capstone, a culminating two-year credential program in which students complete in depth research on world phenomena.
