Curriculum:

 

ACAA utilizes traditional teaching methods,  performing arts  and also web-based curriculum that provides for 6th-12th grade students with unlimited course options and the ability to excel at their own pace. Students have the choice to attend classes in a traditional classroom, online anytime and/or in a Teacher supervised learning lab or all three.  

Many schools simply provide courses,  curriculum and  use repetition as their teaching method.  Although this is important, ACAA takes it a step further by integrating art within our teaching methods.  So a science teacher uses guitar to help explain pitch, tone, etc and vice versa.  Or a geometry class works with a production class to build and design sets.  At ACAA academic and  art teacher are paired up to enhance learning.
