In addition to flexibility, we have a supportive and caring team of educators who are passionate about making a difference! Our student body is inclusive and practices being respectful, responsible, and safe daily. Coastal Academy High School partners with parents to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. My door is always open, and I hope you stop by to introduce yourself. I look forward to getting to know you and your student.

Coastal Academy High School partners with parents to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. Most students participate in the four-day classroom program, but select students may benefit from the flexibility of our independent study program.

Four-Day Program

The Four-Day Program serves students who would like to attend class in a traditional classroom setting four days per week (Tuesday-Friday). Teachers use lectures, small group interactions, labs, field trips, and projects to deliver an engaging and rigorous curriculum. Students in this program agree to exhibit respectful conduct and academic responsibility, including the timely completion of quality work and daily attendance. Students attend Mentor Advisory weekly to collaborate with peers, hear important school announcements, and receive personalized mentoring. Students are assigned to a School Counselor to provide guidance and mentorship. Coastal Academy High School is committed to building student resilience through intentional service, learning, and leadership development opportunities. All classes are yearlong except for several semester-long electives.

Five-Day Independent Study Program

The Five-Day Independent Study Program provides additional flexibility for students and families. Families may choose from several options including selecting their curriculum, online courses, working with outside co-ops or vendors, and taking community college courses. Every nine weeks, students will meet with a credentialed teacher who oversees their progress.

Student Activities

CAH provides various activities to allow students to connect with their community. Activities include sports, clubs, school dances, and various ASB-sponsored events. The student culture at CAH is remarkably accepting, nurturing, and wholesome, and all school events are designed to help students engage with each other in a safe and supervised environment. All students are encouraged to give back to their communities and must complete 37.5 community service hours each year they are enrolled at CAH.

Visual and Performing Arts
The Visual and Performing Arts possess inherent value essential in creating well-rounded students. Studying the arts enables students to connect to content in new ways and better understand themselves and others. CAH instruction follows the California Arts Standards for creating, performing/presenting/producing, responding, and connecting, as well as the Common Core State Standards for reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Visual and Performing Arts courses provide students with an academically enriching and rigorous study of the arts.

Special Education

Coastal Academy High School Department of Special Education’s mission ensures that children with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). We work with families, students, teachers, and other professionals to promote student success through individualized learning and support. Coastal Academy High School is committed to serving the needs of all students. Our schools believe that the Least Restrictive Environment begins in the general education classroom/setting for all students, and supplemental aids and services are added to students’ education settings according to their individual needs. Students with learning or behavioral disabilities are provided a comprehensive range of services as specified in students’ Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Coastal Academy High School Special Education program includes various services for eligible students under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Coastal Academy High School believes in a team approach: student, parent, general education teacher, special education teacher, and instrumental team member. This team works together to create and execute a plan to make the student most successful.

Conferences

Students are assigned a School Counselor upon enrollment. The School Counselor is a resource for helping students stay on track and can arrange appointments with subject-area teachers. Students are also assigned a Mentor Advisor. Mentors conduct biweekly check-ins with their mentees to ensure appropriate academic and social-emotional progress. These individuals act as “school champions” for their respective mentees. Students, parents, and teachers have real-time access to a student’s progress through online progress reports. If a student falls behind or is struggling, families are encouraged to meet with their School Counselor or an Administrator to create or modify an individualized learning plan.
