The Graystone Academy Charter School program includes:

and multi-cultural literature in the morning session of core subjects.

to cultivate skills essential to academic success.

CD-ROMs and Internet sites are woven into the fabric of the curriculum,

class.

literacy and allows students to experience the value of the computer
as an integrated learning tool.

social science, literature, philosophy, drama, music, art, science, history,

of "great ideas" in world culture.

administered twice each year
