Agora’s High School Curriculum
High school students are given a wide variety of course choices, empowering
them to identify their goals, chart their own paths, and enjoy their journey
from 9th grade through 12th. In addition to core courses, students can choose
from an array of electives to pursue their individual interests.
Agora high school students benefit from a team of subjectspecific teachers and school counselors who work together
to create their Individualized Learning Plan. The team
then monitors students’ progress to guide them to
post-high-school success.
Teachers engage with students and monitor their
work every week. Whether a student has chosen
synchronous or asynchronous courses, teachers
provide the support needed to ensure that he
or she understands the key concepts and meets
Pennsylvania academic standards for proficiency.
The flexibility of Agora’s curriculum also means
that students who are excelling will quickly
be recognized and provided more challenging
coursework. Students who are struggling will
be given additional time and access to resources
to help them catch up.
High school students will notice that some
subjects, such as Algebra and Geometry, have both
a regular course and a “Common Core” course.
Although Agora is still offering regular courses
in 2015-16, we strongly encourage
students to enroll in Common Core
courses, which are designed to align
with the latest state and national
standards. All students should
consult with their Guidance
Counselor and Family Coach
to decide which courses are the
best fit for them.

Graduation Requirements
Students must earn 22 credits in the following content areas that are aligned to the Pennsylvania Academic Standards.
Graduation Project
Successful completion of a graduation project is a Pennsylvania
state-mandated requirement for high school graduation. At
Agora, we intend for this project to include 20 hours of
community service and/or job shadowing.
The project is meant to be an individualized learning experience
in an area of interest to the student. A successful project will
benefit both the student and peers who view the final project
presentation.
Once you have selected your location(s) for community service
and/or job shadowing, you will have a number of requirements to
meet in order to successfully meet the senior project expectations.
Requirements for the 2015-2016 graduation project are:
• Meeting with guidance counselor (grades 11 and 12) •C
ompletion of community service/job shadowing
(20 hours total) • Research and short-term goal planning • One journal entry summarizing your experience • Résumé or college application • A post-graduation plan essay • Senior exit survey • Final project presentation in PowerPoint format Additional requirements may be added if deemed necessary.
All parts of this project must be submitted in order to meet and
pass the graduation project requirement.
