Curriculum
The MSTC program requires students to work at an accelerated level. Whenever possible, the courses are taught at the AP level or higher. In fact, students in the MSTC program have access to courses that go well beyond a typical high school program and in some cases, would be taken late in a student's college sequence. In addition, students in the MSTC program have a school day that is one hour longer than the PLD schedule. Students in the MSTC program start each day with a zero hour class.
