Upper Division

Lower Division | Middle Division | Upper Division

Upper Division is grades 9 through 12.

The high school program employs a three-part strategy, equally emphasizing academics and remediation; success attributes such as self-advocacy, leadership, and problem solving; and skills emphasizing the necessary preparation for a productive and independent life.

Students in the upper division focus on transitioning beyond The Janus School, whether it be college, military, or employment. An advisory class each year provides the framework for students to develop self-awareness, metacognition, and study skills, and provides an opportunity for students to set goals and explore post-graduate options.

During the morning of the third trimester, all seniors complete internships in order to further develop the attributes of success, to explore career interests, and to practice good employability skills. During the afternoon, seniors complete their coursework requirements for graduation. Enrichment classes are offered to increase students’ background knowledge and to discover or further develop strengths and skills in a variety of high interest settings.

High school courses meet and exceed the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania high school diploma requirements, with grades and transcripts maintained throughout a student's enrollment at Janus.

Parents receive narrative reports and grades three times per year, and forty-five minute parent-teacher conferences are scheduled each trimester.
