We desire that all children have access to and experience in extracurricular activities. We understand that parental obligations will sometimes interfere with a ability to commit student’s to after school practices or rehearsals. We want to offer as many unique opportunities as possible to experience competition during the school day. Chess, debate, academic bowls, theater, solo/ensemble choral competitions, spelling bees, STEM competitions, and engineering teams might all become elective opportunities at High Point. A mentoring and monitoring system that allows secondary students daily access to their homeroom mentor coach, fostering educational relationships High Point students will spend time each day in their homeroom mentoring class. This largely affects middle school and high school students (grades 6-12). All students in these grades will be assigned a mentoring coach that will remain consistent with them throughout remainder of their High Point Academy career. Our goal is to create continuity among our students and staff members. It is our hope that this relationship will prove to be life changing. It is rare that mentor teachers are encouraged to transition a class through seven years of education. We want to pioneer this philosophy and create lasting academic relationships between students and staff. Extensive eighth grade and senior year research projects and presentations required for promotion and graduation Each of our students (8th and 12th grade) will be given a research project that will “promoting” reflect their particular area of interest. Students will choose projects based on their interest, resources, and desired of outcome. Their project will be recorded in an e-portfolio to show progression from 8th grade abilities to senior year development. These portfolios will also offer a permanent record of their work. Many colleges are interested in student based projects that make a difference in the world around them. By the time a student leaves High Point Academy, they will have transitioned from being children who are full of wonder to knowledgeable, responsible citizens that desire to affect the world around them.
