We seek to sustain an educational community where an emphasis on academic excellence is complemented by our concern for each learner’s personal growth and intellectual, aesthetic, and psychological development. The curriculum is developmentally responsive – actively engaging students in learning skills in context, integrative – directing students to connect learning to daily lives, and exploratory – enabling students to discover their abilities, interests, learning styles, and ways that they can make contributions to society.

We are also continuing to run Class 0 and Class 8 courses to help students with local, state and national testing. PM3 testing is scheduled for May 13th.

 

Looking forward

10 grade students who were eligible to enroll at the college did so last week. The counselors met with students and parents prior to enrollment to explain college student progression plans. The students all met the morning of 4/8 in 119 and 120 to get their schedules submitted to NWFSC.


 

8th grade students from Seaside are coming on a field trip this Thursday to tour Seacoast and NWFSC. The NWFSC team is leading the college tour with current Jr. 's and Sr's to assist. 


 

10th grade students are going on an in-depth tour of NWFSC on May 28th which will allow them to meet department heads and tour classes on the NWFSC campus.
