The Academy tries it’s best to accommodate student voice in timetable choices. The timetable for 2013-2014 was solidified after students provided input into their optional course preferences.
The Grade 11 Math class formalized the process through a school-wide survey and data-analysis project. Here are just some of the results from this year’s survey.
Staff and students gathered after school to harvest from the Academy’s Pickle Guild. The Pickle Guild was a test crop to establish the plants that would be appropriate to grow in the Pickle Farm housed in the school’s solarium. Check out the unusual and delicious plants that were harvested and promptly pickled with our Experimental Sculpture; Pickle Farm Designer, Micah Donovan.
Dear Parents / Guardians and Students,

The Academy formed a Global Awareness team this year.
Shayna a lovely YMCA staff member from the YMCA’s International Department came and introduced a number of Global Awareness issues to our school over a very well attended lunch hour session on May 23rd, 2013. A number of Academy students have elected to join the team. They will gather regularly to discuss Global issues and implement cross-curricular programming at the school.
The Global Awareness team’s first event will be held on Tuesday June 18th, 2013 here at The Academy. They will be hosting youth visitors from YMCAs across Columbia. The school will gather in a circle discussion to get to know the visiting youth, share their various experiences and exchange life- stories.
Stay tuned!
Here are some pictures from the June 2nd Healthy Kids Day at the Central Y. What a big success! Over 600 came through the doors to participate!
A big thank you to all the staff who came out and supported – many of you on your day off!
And a HUGE thank you to our many volunteers who supported us all day long. We could not have done it without you!
Think about joining us next year to earn volunteer hours!
