The Star Academy program employs multiple educational strategies to effectively deliver two years of curriculum in one school calendar year. Designed for overaged 8th graders, students complete their 8th and 9th-grade year in one school year, thus allowing them the opportunity to enter high school on grade level. Offered core courses include Science, Math, English, and Social Studies, in addition to an elective course in Career Education. The Star Academy program is designed for Project-based instruction and service-learning opportunities.
