Curriculum and Daily Schedule

Self-paced Curriculum

A student will be under the guidance of a certified teacher in each course to make progress each day. Each student will work at their own pace within the coursework assigned using a combination of online curriculum and in-class assignments to work towards completion. Standard course sequencing will be followed through high school curriculum standards beginning with 9^th and ending with 12^th grade coursework. Course sequencing will occur in accordance to what credits they have, and need to finish the requirments for the Foundation High School Program. Graduation requirements can be viewed through the Texas Education Agency.
