Electives

High school is a time when every person begins to discover his own unique interests and talents. It is important during these years to introduce the student to a variety of experiences and a variety of subjects. This exposure helps him find his individuality and helps him decide on his future course into college and beyond. To spark and to further develop a student’s interests Sinai Academy offers a number of elective courses and extra-curricular activities. As a small school we are extremely flexible as to the electives that we can offer our students. We often add courses to the schedule based on our students’ expressed interest. These include Economics, Accounting, Art, Music, Photography, AP Psychology, Writing Workshop, Journalism, Graphic Design, Web Design, as well as many others.
