Academics

Get Outside and in the Lab to Enjoy Science in Action!!!

CASEE offers half-day curriculum blocks designed for each grade level to ensure that CASEE students are on a comparable academic track to their counterparts at the high schools. Each block includes a core Lab Science class and related Career & Technical Education (CTE) as well as an English class that teaches the same content as the high school but utilizes literature and writing assignments that connect to the science and CTE material. Some courses also provide the opportunity to earn free college credits with no change in content.
