The Academy of Law encompasses a theme-based, college preparatory curriculum and extensive extracurricular and academic support programs.

The curriculum includes three elements:

  • Law-related content embedded in required courses in English, Social Studies, Math and Science
  • Law-specific elective courses such as Constitutional Law and Criminal Justice
  • Work-based learning throughout the 3 years of study

The Academy:

  • Creates a source of engagement for students who are “at risk.” Academy-style, school-within-a-school themed education has been remarkably successful in bridging the achievement gap and increasing high graduation and college-going rates
  • Provides a rigorous course of study that prepares students for college and careers
  • Creates multiple pathways to success so that students can learn about and pursue opportunities that they would not otherwise be exposed to and set and work toward career and college goals
  • Provides a positive understanding of the legal system and its role in society, enhancing civic education for citizenship and enhancing community service and civic engagement
  • Provides students with attorney role models and mentors who can teach, inspire, and support students to college and career pathways
  • Attorneys serve as mentors to 11th grade Academy students.   Mentors work with students between October and June for about 65 minutes each month.
