academics
The mission of the academic program is to prepare students for college and life as a creative professional.
Academic instructional environments encourage inquiry and intellectual curiosity, and empower students to raise questions and develop a pattern of lifelong learning. Students enjoy small class sizes, multiple AP options and innovative lessons taught by fully licensed teachers. Curriculum is active, collaborative, and aligned with state standards. Students self-select on-level or advanced and AP options.
TONIGHT! SPCPA Seniors are hosting information tables to share their knowledge and experiences on postsecondary planning and college applications. Not sure if college is right for you? Come check out some options and chat with students about alternative pathways.

The prosecution was tasked with proving Khan was guilty of excessive brutality and crimes against humanity. For those wondering, he found was guilty on the count of Crimes Against Humanity and innocent on the count of Excessive Brutality. It was very close, the defense had a strong closing statement!
