A Day in
the Life

No two Hawking Academy students have identical schedules, and that is the point. Our model is designed for motivated students who learn differently.

Telescope Observation
08:30 AM : SCIENCE

Chemistry Honors Lab

A student begins the morning with an Honors-level laboratory session, working through quantitative problem sets and hands-on experiments in stoichiometry, equilibrium, and reaction kinetics.

09:45 AM : UNIVERSITY TRANSITION

Dual Enrollment: Psychology

Mid-morning is spent attending a university course, Introduction to Psychology, at a local partner campus or through a hybrid digital format.

11:00 AM : ENGLISH

American Literature Honors

Midday sessions turn to close reading and analytical writing, tracing the American literary tradition from its colonial roots to contemporary voices — the kind of primary-source depth expected in college-level humanities work.

12:00 PM : LUNCH
12:45 PM : ADVANCED PLACEMENT

AP Calculus Problem Sets

Afternoon sessions focus on rigorous problem-solving within the Advanced Placement curriculum, preparing for national standardized examinations.

02:00 PM : CLASSICAL LANGUAGES

Latin III Honors

Afternoon coursework shifts to unadapted Latin translation, moving from grammar mastery into the literary style of authors like Ovid, Cicero, and Caesar.

03:15 PM : FINE ARTS

Percussion IV Honors

The day winds down in the ensemble room, where advanced percussionists rehearse solo and ensemble literature and take on a leadership role within the group.

Structured Flexibility

Our model accommodates the reality that high-achieving students move at different paces. Every student shares a rigorous, structured academic plan and formal oversight.

Genuine Engagement

We foster the expectation of deep intellectual engagement. Whether in a lab or a classroom, our students prove themselves in high-level environments every day.

“The flexibility is real. So is the rigor.”
