ABOUT HIGHLAND ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL

Students learn by actively solving problems and finding that each task may have more than one solution.
​
Community Immersion
Students learn how personal ethics relate to moral codes, as well as building responsibility, leadership, integrity, and teamwork.

Adult Support
Each student has an advisor with whom they can meet to address important personal, social, future career, and education issues.
