CHOOSE
Clarity first. Strategy always.
The decision has more moving pieces than most families expect.
An academy may sound exciting. But the program is only one part of your student's high-school experience.
The program
What will your student actually study, and how does the program fit their interests?
The school
Would your student still feel good about this high school if the academy were removed from the equation?
The four-year path
How could freshman courses, schedule space and program requirements affect the options your student has later?
26 pages built for the decisions St. Johns County families are about to make.
Keep the important dates together before Academy Night season begins.
See the currently published high-school Academy Night dates in one place.
Go beyond the brochure and ask about course sequence, flexibility, schedule space and the daily reality.
Understand the questions families should ask about eligibility, transportation and changing direction later.
Think about math, science, advanced coursework, electives and what may become harder to fit.
Compare multiple options without trying to remember every detail from every presentation.
See whether your family can confidently answer the questions that matter before making the choice.
If the workbook leaves you with questions about your specific student, we'll show you what individualized support looks like.
