The AOC Experience

 

What to Expect at AOC

AOC is a middle college high school and a student's experience at AOC is not going to be the same as a high school student at one of the comprehensive high schools in the Hart District. Educational plans are designed utilizing the opportunities provided by our environment and differ significantly from the educational plans followed at the comprehensive high schools. All AOC Education Plans are designed to meet the A-G requirements and requirements for other private and out-of-state colleges. 

AOC students must take COC classes along their AOC classes beginning in 9th grade. AOC and COC Classes are pre-planned for 9th grade students. As students progress through AOC, they have more COC options to choose from. 

 
The AOC Counseling department uses Advisement and Seminar classes to provide information to students about educational planning. Beginning in the second semester of sophomore year, students meet individually with the counselor (Ms. Grijalva) to develop and modify their personalized educational plans. The schedule below lists the topics and approximate date of each presentations provided by the AOC Counseling team and/or Advisement classes.
