Homeschool Program
The Homeschool program is over 20 years old and is integrated with the day school program. Students receive specific instruction for the homeschool program and one on one tutoring. Some families choose to homeschool their children due to religious beliefs, while others choose to do so because of dissatisfaction with other educational options. Many parents of children with handicaps choose to homeschool because they feel more prepared to meet the needs of their child.
Summer School
Students usually attend Summer School for enrichment purposes, making up a grade, or accelerating their current education. A student wishing to graduate earlier than their prescribed date may take credits in summer school to achieve this goal. The summer school has been opened to any high school student in Palm Beach County.
