Our primary goal for each of our high school students is college preparedness. That said, this goal goes beyond college admission. Our high school students will not only be knowledgeable regarding academic content, but also be competent in life skills necessary for success in college and beyond. In order to achieve this goal, we integrate community service and real-world application throughout the academic program.

Our small class sizes create opportunities for differentiated learning plans to aid students in achieving individual goals and foster a love of learning. Metro leverages traditional curricula that comply with national standards while emphasizing a contemporary approach to learning that meets the needs of our learners and prepares them for success. Our classes and schedules vary each year depending on our student population. Each year we develop groupings of core academic and extracurricular classes that meet the diverse needs of our students socially and emotionally and prepares them for college and the workforce.

We teach beyond the core disciplines

Our education model cultivates real-world learning experiences. We integrate core subject matter with additional supports to achieve dynamic and practical learning to incentivize student engagement.

Mathematics

Utilizing a multi-modality approach, Metro supports mastery of foundational skills and provides opportunities to deepen the understanding of conceptual math and how it is utilized in the real world.

English Language Arts

We strive to help students build a variety of reading and writing skills that will not only serve as a foundation for learning, but also support the communication of thoughts, opinions, and ideas as we serve as contributors to our community both in and out of school.

Science

Content is best learned when it is applied. Through hands-on practice of the scientific method along with integration of our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Science) initiative, we aim to bring real-world application and multi-sensory learning into every science lesson.

Foreign Languages

All students participate in foreign language courses. We offer two languages- Spanish and Hebrew. These classes are taught using a multi-modality approach which focuses on building language proficiency through a wide range of listening, speaking, writing, and reading activities.

History & Social Studies

History and Social Studies are the foundation of intercultural understanding. Through learning about our past, geography, belief systems, resources, and relationships we begin to understand our differences and the threads that connect us all.

Holistic Learning Classes

We seek to facilitate the development of the whole child by providing time and space for learning to take place in a variety of avenues. Each year, we evaluate our student population and create a comprehensive program with the aim of fostering essential life skills. Classes may include Movement, Social-Emotional Learning, Visual Arts, Dramatic Arts, Urban Homesteading, Health, Library, and Independent Research Classes.
