As part of the ReNew Schools network, the campus emphasizes both academic achievement and social-emotional growth to prepare students for post-secondary success. The curriculum is tailored to address the unique needs of over-age or under-credited students, allowing them to move through coursework at a pace that matches their individual goals.
