9th - 12th Grades

Our Cumberland Campus on Western Avenue is the home of our High School.

​

Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday we meet on campus for academic instruction. Tuesday and Friday are Satellite Days - our home study days. High School students have the option of taking as few as 4 classes which are customized according to their diploma plan. Typically, high school students will take Math, Science, English, and a Social Studies each year. In addition, we also offer elective classes that are available in the afternoon. Honors classes are also available to students who qualify.

​

Class starts promptly at 8:30am, and students can arrive as early as 8:00am. Because the High School schedule is more customized, high school students 

may not have a class each period. During those times, they may opt for study hall or early check-out when applicable. For most high school students, we have three dismissal times:

1:10 (4 Core Classes)

2:15 (4 Core Classes + 5th Period Elective)

3:20 (4 Core Classes + 5th & 6th Period Electives) 

​

Electives and Extracurricular Programs

River's Edge High School students can take up to two afternoon elective classes each day. Electives include classes such as Art, Drama, Home Economics, Lego/Robotics Club (9th grade), Choir, Entrepreneurship, Foreign Language, PE, Microsoft Office, Nutrition, etc. 

​

Band is offered weekly after school through American Independent Music Association (AIMA). Students learn to work together as a band, while working to improve their skills on their choice instrument. The students look forward to their RECA band concerts where they have an opportunity to showcase their talents and hard work.
