Academic Program—Collegiate Academy
The Collegiate Academy offers an experience more like that of a university, but with familiar supports from the Senior Academy such as Tutorial and Mid-day Meeting. Students are provided with more choice in their course selection and there is greater opportunity for schools to adapt the course offerings to meet the interests and traditions of the local community. Below is a listing of the courses that Edison offers nationally. Courses marked with an asterisk are college-prep courses for students who choose not to take AP offerings.
