Arts and sports

 This program is designed for students (like competitive athletes, musicians, and actors) who need to be fully immersed in their passion. Since there are no fixed daily class times, students can schedule their schoolwork around training, rehearsals, competitions, or travel. 

 The 12-month completion period allows students to effectively pause academic intensity during peak seasons (e.g., pre-Olympic training, a theater run) and then dedicate more time to their studies during the off-season, ensuring continuous academic progress without penalty. 

 For student-athletes, the high school curriculum is meticulously structured to include courses that meet NCAA eligibility requirements. Academic Mentors specifically guide these students to ensure their flexible schedule keeps them on track for college sports recruitment. 

A student-athlete could use data from their training regimen to complete a science or math project on biomechanics and nutrition. 

A music student could create a final piece for a required music appreciation or humanities project, incorporating research on historical composers and instruments. A dancer could produce and present a documentary on the cultural history of their dance form. 

Presenting an audition tape, writing a sports column, or managing a creative team for a performance all fulfill the PBL requirements for communication, leadership, and time management.
