Program Information

Respect-Responsibility-Choice

Academy of the  Redwoods is a Fortuna Union High School District Middle College High School with an accelerated and rigorous college preparatory curriculum. It provides qualified students with a high school diploma and, potentially, up to two years of college credit by the time they complete their 4-year high school education.

AR was one of the first “early college high schools” in California and remains one of the few middle college high schools that are physically located on a college campus. In the 9th and 10th grades, AR students take predominantly high school courses; students can take up to 11 units of college credit per semester in the  3rd and 4th year of the AR program.

The high school curriculum is marked by a clear focus on the importance of literacy in all disciplines; thus, AR students enroll in 2 years of intensive high school courses to better prepare them for college enrollment and the work that is demanded for success in post-secondary education.

Health & Safety

This site may require a combination of a Live-scan, required vaccinations, and/or a TB Test. Please ask your instructor and your site supervisor about these requirements. Proof of these will need to be submitted to your site in order to start you placement.
