Upper School

In the Upper School, students benefit from a variety of course offerings. Though all of our courses are rigorous, we also offer honors, AP, and dual enrollment courses to provide students with greater enrichment and challenging opportunities. Dual enrollment courses are offered through Southeastern University (SACS accredited) and provide students with simultaneous high school and college credit. Robotics 1 (Coding & Circuits) and Robotics 2 (Mobile Robotics) have been added to our academic schedule. Students will build circuits, write code, debug and troubleshoot hardware systems and learn the robotics process. As well as students having access to our brand new Aquaponics Lab. Sentinels will have hands -on experience with the tilapia tanks and plants that are currently growing right here on the ECS campus. This is in addition to the great Aviation program that is already very successful. ECS is partnered with Florida’s premier flight training facility, Paragon Flight. Paragon is an FAA approved school and all courses are taught by FAA certified flight instructors. Students can earn up to 12 college credits upon completion of the program. With this, the 2022-2023 school year is sure to bring a great range of choices for our upper school students!
