Curriculum

Every student at CA prepares a full, balanced schedule each semester with the help and approval of his or her advisor and the Academic Dean. Minimum requirements in each department form a framework within which each student builds a program that fits his or her individual needs and interests. All students are encouraged to plan ahead, thinking out what courses they might want to take for their entire high-school career each time they construct a schedule, understanding that some courses have limited enrollments and some courses might not be offered if under-enrolled. The faculty works closely with students to keep an eye on graduation requirements and on courses needed for College Board examinations. Students are asked to indicate not only the courses for which they wish to register next year, but also, tentatively, the courses they intend to study in future years.
