Regular school attendance is a major component of academic success. Students, parents and school personnel are responsible for monitoring and limiting levels of absences, tardiness and early departures.

This booklet offers a current description of courses taught in grades 7-11.  Each class is 45 minutes long and is either a half-year or a full-year in duration. A Student Planner is provided to each student at the beginning of the school year. It is highly recommended that this planner be used for students to chart homework assignments as well as daily activities.  

The Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School is a college preparatory junior/senior high school. Accordingly, we encourage our students to maintain a rigorous and competitive high school program, whose end result will make them viable candidates for acceptance at their college or university of choice.
