Study at Blyth-Templeton Academy

Blyth-Templeton Academy offers a wide range of courses designed to suit the needs of every student: full-time, private, summer school, and our newest option: Blyth Academy Online. Our personalized education, class sizes with fewer than eight students, and experiential learning model offer a unique alternative that is dedicated to the total education of young people.

Our school terms and daily classroom schedules are designed to maximize learning and keep students organized. These schedules also accommodate students who are pursuing extracurricular studies and involved in intensive training for athletics or other endeavors.

Students take two courses in each of four terms during the academic year with each class meeting for two hours and thirty minutes each day. This approach has proved enormously successful in helping students delve to greater depths academically and organizationally. The block period facilitates experiential education by providing the time to leave the traditional classroom and learn in real-life settings with the opportunity for project-based learning. With one-on-one support before and after class, students seldom need tutoring outside of school.

Our Guidance Counselor provides individual attention and relates to each student on a personal basis, providing ongoing advice throughout high school, not just in the 11th and 12th grades. Through empathetic engagement, hands-on experiential teaching, and ongoing customized guidance, students are prepared for any post-secondary experience. Blyth-Templeton Academy uses the Naviance Platform for managing the college application process.
