About
Our school is a small learning community with a strong commitment to computer science, robotics, technology, theater, acting, filmmaking, and career and technical studies. We are proud to be one of the first high schools to offer remote classes on Fridays for those students who would prefer to learn virtually from home, in a hybrid model. Our Computer Science Program offers students a four-year sequence of computer science and technology courses including robotics, digital media, computer programming, and game design to name a few. Our Expo Conservatory Theatre Program is an actor-training program, which gives opportunities for students to cultivate and showcase their acting talents through on-site and off-site play productions, film, and television experiences. Students in this pathway receive four years of actor training, which includes classes in acting, theater, film, television, voice, movement, improvisation, yoga for actors, and theater performances. Our acting program features partnerships with award-winning professional theater companies as well as the Ghetto Film School for filmmaking. Students attend frequent Broadway and off-Broadway theater productions and visit the most highly competitive acting programs and college campuses. Additionally, students have opportunities to learn career and technical skills such as through our Barbershop Program, our Police Academy courses, our Navy courses, and courses in technical fields such as automotives, electric, cosmetology, culinary arts, and plumbing. Students graduate with the CDOS micro-credential in career and occupational studies. At Explorations Academy High School, or as we call it, "Expo," there is something for everyone!
