Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS).

Many students and schools call us or write to us to know exactly what is covered in our program. The answer is quite simple, we provide the coursework with examination for 24 credits worth of education. This means that students are tested on the Florida State Sunshine Standards. This covers 24 credits divided among Math, English, Language Arts, Lab Science, Social Studies, and lifestyle Design. Students are given detailed syllabuses for each course, with benchmarks, outlining what will be covered on the exams. During the next year we will adopt The Common Core State Standards created by the National Governors Association & the Council of Chief State School Officers. Additionally, detailed study guides or textbooks are given to the students. Students also have the option of using our school with library to complete their work and we also serve as proctors for exam taking. Some students choose to use our school for additional help, tutoring, and for some college or university requirements. Rest assured that the subjects are well covered and all students are able to complete the work using our detailed study guides, our textbooks, our free tutoring, and our school use.
