High school starts here, and so does the transcript colleges will read. Algebra, Biology, AP access, and certified teachers who actually know your child’s name, goals, and where they need to grow.
Freshman year is when the college transcript begins. Every grade, every course, every academic choice from this point forward becomes part of the record that colleges, universities, and scholarship committees will eventually review. At Score Academy, 9th graders build strong academic habits from day one. Students get real-time feedback, individualized support, and teachers who know exactly where they stand academically. Students new to online learning also develop the self-management skills that virtual education requires, with more structure than they’ll need by senior year.
From core academics to AP courses and creative electives, here’s a snapshot of what Grade 9 students study at Score Academy Online. Synchronous students take every subject live. Asynchronous students access the same accredited curriculum at their own pace.
