Academics:

ACCREDITATION

Our high school is accredited through the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC)

"The Northwest Accreditation Commission accredits distance education, elementary, foreign nation, high, K-12, middle level, post secondary non-degree granting, residential, special purpose, supplementary education and travel education schools."

The NWAC is acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Education (USDOEd) as one of the six regional accreditation agencies for K-12 Education.

SCHEDULE & COURSES

We currently have 11 part/full time teachers dedicated to our secondary department. High school students begin school at 8:15 and end the school day at 3:00. The following plan provides a course model for planning as students prepare for college. Some particular areas such as math, foreign language, fine arts, and P.E. may be adjusted due to student ability, staffing constraints, scheduling, etc.  We also have AP classes as well as accelerated learning classes.





*College courses may include (Algebra 114, Elementary Statistics 224, and Human Biology 106 w/Lab) in conjunction with Northwest Nazarene University. Not only do these courses fulfill high school graduation requirements, but can also provide 3 college semester credits transferable to most universities and colleges.
