Academic Foundations is a cross-curricular program blending three different college prep classes: English 1, Biology, and World History.  Throughout the year, students will create projects in a collaborative setting incorporating skills and knowledge acquired in all three classes.  Projects afford students an opportunity to challenge themselves through leadership and teamwork, while fostering innovative, critical thinking.  Participation in activities will help improve their public speaking and research skills.  Members of the program will also develop global perspectives, understanding of architecture, and will gain foundations in biomedical science. Cross-curricular instruction is a scientifically proven and effective method of development.  This methodology prepares students for the rigor of honors courses, PLTW, IBCP, and AP.
