Adelson Community Theatre (ACT)
Grades 9-10
In ACT, students learn far more than the artistic and technical aspect of putting on a production. Through the collaborative tasks of writing or choosing a script, casting, staging, advertising, and more, students hone the soft skills they will need in any career path they choose.
9th Grade
Students work one-on-one with our college counselor to develop their Path to College. In addition to laying out the concrete steps involved in the college application process, the Path to College is also a snapshot of a student’s strengths and growth opportunities to ensure the right strategies are in place to set them up for success.
10th Grade
Students take an expert PSAT prep course in the first quarter of sophomore year and continue to customize their Path to College as Focus Area electives, athletics, clubs, and competitions start providing even more clarity and direction. Our college counselor helps students focus on building their resumés and planning coursework and experiences that will be the most impactful.
11th Grade
Students take an SAT prep course in the first quarter of junior year — this course has proven to increase scores as much as 200-300 points. College and university visits get underway as well as meetings with university representatives who visit campus.
12th Grade
Our college counselor works closely with individually with students to match their unique interest and skills, what they want to do with their lives, and what impact they want to make with colleges that make an ideal fit. They work together to prepare portfolios and assist students with securing scholarships. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that 100% of Adelson graduates receive acceptance to a four-year college or university.
The Adelson School really prepared me for college and the next chapter in my life. The curriculum and expert teachers really pushed me and allowed me to go farther than I ever thought possible. I was ready for college on day one!

School Culture
- Encouraging involvement. Students aren’t invisible here — they actively engage in their education and our community. We help them grow their confidence as we challenge and encourage them to try new things. They feel safe and supported as they develop resilience.
- Teaching life skills. While core concepts and courses are key for growth and learning, students also cultivate life skills, such as collaboration and conflict resolution. As they navigate juggling assignments and extracurriculars, they learn to responsibly manage their time, stay organized, and self-advocate.
- Giving back. Volunteer experiences offer students deep engagement through sustained, hands-on experiences that challenge them to think empathetically and advocate for those in need.
