FLAME Program - Academic Studies

Guidance | Flame | Tutoring | NHS and CSF | Academic Studies | Study Skills | Resources

Some students will be put in the Academic Studies Class to help them improve their overall school performance. In the Academic Studies class, the students will be learning and then utilizing techniques that will prepare you for the school year, and beyond. This course is designed for students to examine and practice skills they need to assess, assimilate and understand information in content area classes.

Classes are organized as lectures, computer projects, content area work, and hands on activities. Opportunities are provided for students to become actively engaged in the learning process, with the goal of turning theory into practice. Students will be required to bring assignments to work on in class each day.
