Unique Programs
Covid-19 and ASD 2019-2020 On March 7, 2020 and for the remainder of the year, all students transitioned into virtual learning that provided both synchronous and asynchronous learning platforms. 2020-2021 ASD adopted an 80/20% Blended Learning model with students in school for 4 days and virtual for 1 day each week. Extra-curricular activities were limited. All sporting activities were suspended and student organizations were virtual. 2021-2022 ASD has resumed 100% in person learning.
Each of the following programs are application based:
AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA Students choose from 23 Advanced Placement courses including Capstone, a culminating two-year credential program in which students complete in depth research on world phenomena. GLOBAL ONLINE ACADEMY ASD partners with GOA, a consortium of the top independent schools from around the world to provide students with rigorous authentic distance learning opportunities. This learning opportunity challenges students to develop core competencies and global citizenship skills.
