The Minerva Baccalaureate program is a transformative four-year curriculum available to students who wish to elevate and accelerate their high school educations and benefit from an online, collaborative learning environment.
Graduates of the Stanza Minerva Baccalaureate program receive high school and Baccalaureate diplomas, including at least one year of college credit, as well as the knowledge required to meet the demands of an elite higher education.
Students attend two, live online classes each day, wherein they are challenged to interconnect their learning and develop skills in complex critical thinking, advanced problem solving, and strategic decision-making – skills that provide a strong intellectual foundation for college
Classroom sessions will be delivered on Forum™, Minerva’s advanced virtual learning environment.
The Minerva Baccalaureate program condenses the curriculum into a three-year track, with the fourth year focused on rigorous, college-level courses and a capstone project.
Students participate in engaging A-G elective courses in a non-synchronous environment.
Stanza’s Academic Coach supports students enrolled in the Minerva program in building executive functioning, social-emotional, and study skills.
