Curriculum

Our curriculum is aligned with Florida’s new B.E.S.T. standards to prepare students for success in college and career pursuits. By focusing on developing critical thinking skills and content knowledge across multiple domains, the curriculum prepares students to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

 

High achieving students can take honors courses in certain subjects which will help them prepare for Dual Enrollment/AP classes and qualify for scholarships.

 

MA offers on-campus electives such as Theatre, Home Economics, and Journalism. Students may supplement our electives during the school day in our lab with online FLVS courses like Photography, Forensic Science, Criminal Justice, Driver’s Ed, and more.

There are currently 20 online classes for certifications in:
Microsoft  -  Oracle  -  Adobe  -  CompTIA  -  Cisco
