High School

Trustech believes in thoughtful teaching in the developmental stages of the students.

Where knowledge runs deep

We see each student as an extraordinary human being who is on a profound journey of discovery.

The Trustech’s High School prepares young people for college and beyond through a demanding college preparatory program that challenges students to develop their full capacities for thinking, creative imagination, and active engagement in the world.

Curriculum

We offer an interdisciplinary curriculum with rigorous academics, fine arts, music, practical arts and crafts, and special interest activities (athletics, drama, orchestra, newspaper, etc.) included in the weekly schedule as well as requirements for community service.

Main Lessons - The high school day begins with a double period main lesson. These courses allow for a seminar style, in-depth exploration of a topic in mathematics, the sciences, or the humanities. Each topic is studied as a "block" lasting three to four weeks.
Full Year Courses - All students take full-year courses in mathematics, a language (English, Spanish or German), technology, and movement.
Quarterly Courses - Students take several quarter-long courses in addition to main lessons and full-year courses. One of these courses each quarter will be a fine or applied art taught in two double periods per week. Most other quarterly courses are academic subjects.
Electives and Whole School Courses - Students can also enroll in whole high school electives which allows them to mix in the classroom with students from grades 9–12. Recent electives include: Clowning, Debate, Math Modeling, Painting, Theater, Calligraphy and Paper Cutting, and Newspaper.
