     The Need for Advanced Tracks in the Academies:

    • 53% of NJ jobs pay less than $20.00/hour most between $10-$15/hour
    • Prepare students for high demand, high wage, high skilled careers
    • Provide students with an opportunity to study within their desired fields during high school
    • Tailored Course Sequences created for optimal opportunities for admission into Accelerated College and University Programs
  • Each Advanced Track offers a small learning community (SLC) where students are afforded the opportunity of a more personalized learning experience. Students explore their given field through project based inquiry. Students take successive courses that lead to a concentration in their given field.
