JULINGTON CREEK PLANTATION: HIGH SCHOOL OPTIONS

Never before has attending high school been so exciting.  Easy for me to say as I have been out over 20 years...  That said, students who live in Julington Creek Plantation and the surrounding area have many different options for high school!! 

Depending upon where one lives, the "feeder" schools are either Creekside High School or Bartram Trail High School.  However with the different High School Academies offered within the different schools, may actually opt to attend the high school not necessarily he/she is zoned to attend.  Add to this the option of attending Nease High School in Ponte Vedra and one can see why this process can be both very exciting and overwhelming.

If you are like me you are probably asking What is a High School Acadamy?

"Academies or Programs of study are small, personalized learning communities within a high school that select a subset of students and teachers for a two, three or four year span.  Students enter the program of study through a voluntary process; they must apply and be accepted with parental knowledge and support.  Programs include career academies, acceleration academies and ROTC programs.   ...involves teachers from different subjects working together as a team.  Staff teams, who often share common planning time, work together to implement the key features of the model and provide students with exposure to the career field.  Students are grouped together for several periods every day with a core group of teachers promoting a family-like atmosphere...." (St. Johns School District)  

The different programs of study include:

It is also helpful to know all three schools offer Advanced Placement programs.  In addition, Nease High School also offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.  This is a two-year program of curriculum and service that meets the needs of highly motivated secondary students...With a rigourous curriculum, the original research requirement, the Theory of Knowledge course, and the service component are designed to produce well-rounded and well-educated citizens who can read and think critically...

Clearly, one can see living in Julington Creek Plantation offers many different High School options with exciting programming for all levels and interests.
