Septima P. Clark Academy (Clark) is an academic alternative program for high school students in the Charleston County School District (CCSD). Designed primarily for students who have fallen behind in their studies, Clark offers small class sizes and the individual attention that many students need to succeed in high school. In addition to core academic classes in math, English, social studies and science, Clark offers a limited number of electives, credit recovery classes and other acceleration opportunities.
Unlike most high schools, Clark is not organized by grade levels (ie. 9th grade homerooms, 11th grade activities, etc). Instead, students are scheduled according to their individual needs and all students participate in Clark activities regardless of their age or number of credits. The sense of togetherness and shared purpose are important reasons why Clark students are so successful.
*Clark is currently at capacity, but applications for the 2011-2012 school year will be reviewed and interviews scheduled on a case-by-case basis.
2011-2012 Highlights (so far)
* 120 students from ten different CCSD chose to attend Clark.
* Over 50 students are projected to graduate this year.
* Student have 10+ activities from which to choose.
