Academics

We are a CTE high school that offers five career and technical education majors: Barbering, Cosmetology, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, and Nursing Assistant. We also provide Advanced Placement (AP) courses to give students the opportunity to engage in college-level coursework, strengthen their academic skills, and potentially earn college credit while still in high school. This balance of rigorous academics and hands-on career training ensures students are well-prepared for both college and workforce.

AP Programs

At The MAX, we believe in challenging our students to reach their highest potential through academic rigor and opportunity. Offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses allows our students to experience college-level learning while still in high school, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that prepare them for future success. These courses empower our scholars to earn college credit, strengthen their college applications, and explore advanced topics that align with their academic and career goals. By providing access to AP courses, The MAX demonstrates our commitment to equity, excellence, and ensuring that every student is ready to thrive in college and beyond.
