6-Year Plan

The academic six-year plan at Leroy Greene Academy

Aim for the Stars

Six-Year Plan

This plan is intended to give students an idea of the path they can follow for their six years at LGA. The schedules shown by grade level are not an exact schedule and will vary based upon individual student interests and academic needs every year. Students will always be welcome to schedule an appointment with the assistant principal to discuss academic needs, or have questions answered.

We take our students’ education seriously. Beyond providing the courses that are required for students to apply to a University of California or California State University (known as meeting the a-g requirements), we feel it is our responsibility to provide training and opportunities for each student that are relevant to both the college and career paths they may choose after high school.

Practically speaking, what does this look like?

Your student should leave Leroy Greene Academy after the 12th grade with the following:

  • A high school diploma (which includes successful completion of the current California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) initially administered in 10th grade)
  • Work experience in their chosen path (business or art) during their senior year with local businesses
  • A professional portfolio of their work throughout high school
  • Certifications for Microsoft Office programs as well as Adobe programs (students will be provided training and opportunities to take the certification test, but must opt to pay the test fee and pass the test to be fully certified)
  • Training in Spanish that will begin in 8th grade
  • A complete report regarding their aptitude for potential industries/career pathways as assessed through a pre-ACT program (8th grade) and the ASVAB (11th grade)
  • Numerous opportunities to take Advanced Placement courses, with support as needed
  • Support to prepare for the SAT, ACT and AP exams, all components of successful admissions to a 4-year college
  • Skills necessary to be literate with college- and career-level text
  • Enriching experiences and field trips related to the curriculum
