General Information

THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM

The Norfolk County Agricultural High School (NCAHS) requires every student in the 9th and 10th grades to take a full complement of academic course work. Every freshman and sophomore is required to take a full year of English, mathematics, social studies and science. (Please refer to Scholastic Policies for specific information on promotion and graduation requirements.)

The NCAHS staff has specifically designed the curriculum and specific course offerings to align with the expected learning outcomes in the Massachusetts Department of Education's Curriculum Frameworks. An important objective of the ninth and tenth grade curriculum is to prepare NCAHS students for optimum performance on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) which is given to all 10th graders in the spring of their sophomore year.

In the 11th and 12th grades, NCAHS students are encouraged to exercise personal responsibility and decision-making in electing courses that are compatible with their career goals. In order to assist students, MCAS Math Review support will be required of all students who have previously failed or are at risk of failing the MCAS.
