Curriculum -- What is a Cluster?

Explorations Academy organizes much of its core curriculum into comprehensive, interdiscplinary sectors called clusters.  Each cluster is organized around a common theme and is  composed of several courses in different disciplines. Clusters are designed by faculty with input from students and the members of our Program Council.  We typically run two clusters at a time and students can select the cluster of their choice.

In addition to clusters, we run mathematics and world languages courses, "combined" courses in areas such as arts. occupational and physical education, and first aid.  These courses are essentially required for all students, providing a grounding in common and essential subjects to complement the thematic clusters.

We will be loading some examples of clusters here soon.  Until then, please contact us and we'll provide explanations via phone or email.  Thanks for your interest.
