The Community High School program is designed to provide a learning environment that is creative, hands on, and tailored to fit the interests and needs of each student. The student, together with his or her parents and the CHS staff, begins by planning a personal course of study that will blend off-campus internship experience with in-house core seminars. These seminars use an "Integrated Curriculum".

In a conventional high school environment the student moves from classroom to classroom where literature, the arts, history, science, mathematics, and foreign language are taught as separate, unrelated courses. At Community High these subjects are reunited and studied in a holistic way, one that is interactive and reflects the real world. It is our belief that this synergistic, theme-based approach will better prepare the graduate for the intense challenges he or she will face in the 21st century. Core seminars place great emphasis on writing skills, problem solving, leadership, group dynamics, public speaking, and the social responsibilities of citizenship. These skills are not treated as isolated subjects, but individually nurtured within the context of the seminar. The goal of the program is to enable students to concentrate on their personal areas of interest without sacrificing a well-rounded education.
