Worthington Academy

Worthington Academy is another application based program available to WKHS students.  The Academy is housed on the west end of Phoenix Middle School and it provides students with the opportunity to blend their learning with a mix of teacher instructed and online courses.

There are open houses for students and parents interested in learning more about the Academy on Wednesday, February 3rd and Thursday, February 10th at 7pm.

Much like the DACC (which I discussed yesterday), students who are already attending the Academy and are in good academic standing can register for the Academy as a part of their registration process and then select only the classes you plan on taking at WKHS.  Those students who are applying for the Academy for the first time will register as if you were going to be attending classes at WKHS for the full day.  Once you are accepted to DACC, I will go in and update your course requests so that you have the Academy and only the classes you plan on taking at WKHS in your schedule.

The deadline to apply to the Worthington Academy is March 18th and students will be notified of their admission standing by May 1st.  Please know that there are limited seats available at the Academy, so if you are interested in applying you want to get your application in as soon as possible.

If you have questions about the Worthington Academy, I definitely encourage you to attend one of the open houses!  You can also contact the Academy Principal, Mr. Schirg, via e-mail at aschirg@wscloud.org.
