INSPIRING EXCELLENCE
Classes at AMHS are designed to appropriately challenge students to develop critical thinking skills and prepare students to become life-long learners. In a small class environment, students learn the skills and habits needed to be successful as they transition to become adult learners and self advocates in their post high school transition.
AMHS offers numerous AP and college credit classes in science, history, world language, math, social science, and English -all taught by exemplary educators. Over 70% of our faculty have advanced degrees including five teachers who have doctorates.
As freshmen, students can apply for a four year pathway program called the Health Studies Program – fostering student interest in health and health services. Additionally, a new program called the Business Pathway Program launched in 2020.
The Academic Resource Center provides support for students with diagnosed learning differences, offering them structured assistance while teaching students to succeed in a rigorous academic environment while achieving independence.
