Edgewood
Junior/Senior High
At this “A” rated middle and high school, students share
a common goal of high academic achievement. A faster-paced learning environment
prepares students for college level studies. Students can take Accelerated,
Advanced Placement, Dual Enrollment and Virtual School courses and work
toward a Diploma of Distinction. This advanced diploma requires additional
high school credits and an additional year of foreign language.
The academic curriculum meets all Florida Sunshine State standards in
Math, Science, Foreign Language, Language Arts and Social Studies. With
a student body numbering approximately 1000, students thrive in an environment
with fewer students than most high schools. This allows for more
individualized instruction. Students work to develop critical-thinking
and problem-solving skills, good character and disciplined study habits
for future success in life and postsecondary studies. Seniors are given
an opportunity to develop a senior project that enables them to walk
away from their high school experience with tangible evidence of a rigorous
yet relevant curriculum.
The breadth and depth of course offerings give students more control
over their class schedules and academic goals. From the Seminar Program
for Gifted Students to Exceptional Education for middle school students
and Accelerated curriculums, students learn at a more rapid pace than
at most conventional high schools. Exposure to the Fine Arts and Foreign
Language instruction contribute to each student’s broad-based education.
Many of these courses are enhanced by a recent 13-million dollar school
renovation that brought new science and computer labs, a manufacturing
lab and the latest multi-media instructional technology to all classrooms.
Throughout their experience at Edgewood Junior/Senior High School, students
are encouraged to take advantage of leadership roles in and outside of
class.
