SELAH Institute offers a rigorous high school program designed to equip students with skills that are useful both during their school years and after graduation. Academics are structured, individualized, and intentionally connected to real-world application. Students engage deeply with core subjects while learning to manage projects, communicate clearly, and take ownership of their work.

Our high school curriculum includes:

• English Language Arts

• Mathematics

• Science

• Social Studies

• Foreign Language     

Topics such as agriculture, religion, leadership, and the arts are intentionally woven into core academic projects, allowing students to engage with required content through areas of personal interest. This approach helps students tackle challenging material with greater motivation and relevance while maintaining academic rigor.

Students apply academic knowledge through structured, real-world projects:

• Clearly defined goals and expectations

• Standards-aligned outcomes

• Teacher-guided and student-driven work

• Focused on skills like planning, research, collaboration, and presentation

Students learn how to plan, research, problem-solve, and present their work- skills that matter well beyond high school. Foundational literacy skills, including grammar and handwriting, are reinforced throughout each project. 

At SELAH, we use technology intentionally. Students spend time writing by hand, taking notes, and engaging in hands-on, tangible projects. Technology is integrated where it enhances learning, helping students build practical computer skills while keeping the focus on thinking, creating, and problem-solving. Our goal is to prepare students who are not just tech-literate, but also independent, engaged learners capable of working confidently with or without a screen.

Students will earn industry-recognized certifications relevant to agriculture, safety, and applied learning. 

These include: 

• Youth- Certified Plant Professional  

• OSHA 10-Hour Certification  

• First Aid & CPR  

• Youth for the Quality Care of Animals

• Tractor Safety

... and more!

Families are involved every step of the way, ensuring mentorship is purposeful and tailored to each student’s unique needs.
