They have a monthly science speaker and will soon have an outdoor classroom that will be part of the science experience

Yes, it's just the non-immersion, regular school program. Once upon a time, the county had extra science and math resources, but budget cuts have yanked all of that.

I think the Academy IS the regular school program. I think it's just a catchy name to differentiate it from the immersion program.

But I'm not an SCES parent, just have friends there.
