Academic Explorations
![]()
Life is interdisciplinary and hands-on—learning should be too! Academic Explorations go beyond standard college prep curriculum to allow students to discover unexpected connections between ideas and to spark new interests. Each 20-hour class meets outside the regular school day, whether in person or online, and is assessed on a pass/fail basis. With offerings from surfing to green energy, from rock climbing to beginning robotics, AE classes prove perennial favorites at SHC.
To participate in an AE during the school year, students must have a current GPA of 3.5 or better. Summer enrollment is open to all students with a 2.0 GPA or better.
Please email Ms. Joan O'Neill with any questions. Registration for summer and fall AEs closes April 24. Good exploring!
