Curriculum
Students follow a rich, flexibly-paced curriculum offering guided by highly-qualified subject area teachers, a teacher advisor, and online teaching staff. We emphasize interdisciplinary connections throughout the curriculum, and also support students in developing study areas of their own interests. WAVE is a 22 credit, high school diploma program. Student diplomas are issued by the home district.
