Eastern Sierra Academy

Students at Eastern Sierra Academy participated in a curriculum that prepared them for post-secondary education. Parents, students, and school staff all had responsibilities and were accountable to one another in order to have maximum success for each student.

Students were required to master each subject with a "B" or better in order to receive credit for course work. If students could not maintain this average, they were asked to transfer to another high school in the district. Struggling students were given opportunities for assistance. The school had high API scores and high average SAT scores.

With a student body of twenty and four teachers, ESA sought other avenues to provide experts in each curricular field: distance learning classes via satellite and internet AP courses. ESA's three staff members teach all core curriculum including AP English Language, AP English Literature, AP Government, AP US History and AP Economics.

Students from the school gave presentations to professional organizations, received awards for their projects, and presented workshops at conferences.
