The academy’s curriculum is:
• College-prep
• Activity-based
• Issues-oriented
• Community service projects |
The program encourages small group learning, and also develops many skills by extensive field work and hands-on laboratory experiences. Most of the complex and perplexing issues and problems facing our nation involve more than scientific concepts or economic principles. They also involve individual and social values and group decision-making processes. Accordingly, SEA-DISC aims to prepare students for informed, effective citizenship through stimulating and engaging projects with mentors, discussion and debate on critical environmental problems, and a variety of student "decision-making" activities. |
