Students at The NET and The Bridge follow an academic curriculum grounded in standards-based instruction, project-based learning and tailored to their individual needs. All students work towards earning a High School diploma through the following distinct programmatic features:
Approximately 10 students of various ages and skill levels work to meet standards in two to three subjects at a time through Project-Based Learning. Such Project-Based Learning ensures students take ownership of their learning and receive differentiated instruction.
EQA's core skill courses focus on the development of technical skills necessary to be successful in all other academic settings. In skills courses, 8 to 20 students engage in targeted, leveled instruction. Students in need of literacy and numeracy remediation participate in research-based interventions led by trained teachers. Student also participate in targeted test preparation courses to improve their performance on high school exit and college entrance exams. School leaders and teachers monitor their progress and adjust their schedules or interventions as needed.
Students complete online courses through the Edgenuity curriculum which count toward their graduation credits and help them explore new content and build important 21st Century skills such as self-paced learning and computer use. Students work at their own pace and thus may speed up their graduation by passing multiple computer based courses in a semester.
Many students earn academic and elective credits through their internships.
EQA partners with multiple organizations so that students can earn credits and certifications in Carpentry, Electrical, Digital Media, Health Sciences and more!
