This time is built into the school day and intended to support a quiet, productive, and healthy study environment.
Brave Tutorial: Is designed to assist students in grades who need additional help in select content areas. These tutorials will feature small class sizes (20 or less), and whenever possible, peer tutors will be available to help students. Students may enter or exit the Tutorial as need dictates.

6. BRAVE ACADEMY Cont’d.
Brave Activities: Are designed to provide an enriching experience for students in grades who have earned the opportunity to participate in these activities and workshops based on their academic achievement. These activities are scheduled during the Academy time, Monday through Thursday, and they are open to students who have earned at least a 2.5 GPA.
Some of these fun activities include: Film, Reading, Personal Fitness, Forensics, Dance Studio, PhotoLab, ArtLab, Music Improv, Piano, AP/Honors Support Groups, Academic Decathlon, NHS, Volunteer Tutoring for community service, Brave Buddies, Computer Lab, AAMP, and more.
