It offers a unique placement system, allowing students to enroll based on parent choice and through the Office of Safe and Orderly Schools, ensuring a tailored fit for each student's needs. The academy boasts a robust curriculum that includes specialized programs such as Project-Based Learning (PBL) in middle school science and social studies classes.
