Course Name Credits Course Type Course Description Course Name Credits Course Type Course Description Course Name Credits Course Type Course Description ENGLISH 9 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English I The English 9 course is an overview of exemplar selections of literature in fiction and nonfiction genres. Students read short stories, poems, a full-length novel, and a full-length Shakespeare play, analyzing the use of elements of literature in developing character, plot, and theme. For example, in selected stories, students compare the effect of setting on tone and character development. Likewise, in the poetry unit, students analyze how artists and writers draw from and interpret source material. Each unit includes informational texts inviting students to consider the historical, social, and literary context of the main texts they study. For example, in the first semester, a Nikolai Gogol story that is offered as an exemplar of magical realism is accompanied by instruction on that genre. Together, the lesson content and reading prompt students to demonstrate their understanding of magical realism by analyzing its qualities in a literary text. Throughout the course, students respond to others' claims and support their own claims in essays, discussions, and presentations, consistently using thorough textual evidence. The range of texts includes canonical authors such as William Shakespeare, Franz Kafka, and Elie Wiesel, as well as writers from diverse backgrounds, such as Alice Walker, Li-Young Lee, and Robert Lake-Thom (Medicine Grizzlybear). ENGLISH 10 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English II The focus of the English 10 course is the writing process. Three writing applications guide the curriculum: persuasive, expository, and narrative writing. Each lesson culminates in a written assignment that lets students demonstrate their developing skill in one of these applications. English 10 follows the model of English 9 by including at least one anchor text per lesson, but the essays, articles, stories, poems, and speeches are often presented as models for students to emulate as they practice their own writing. So that these readings may serve as proper examples for students, a high proportion of texts for this course are original pieces. English 10 also continues to develop students' reading, listening, and speaking skills. Readings include poems, stories, speeches, plays, and a graphic novel, as well as a variety of informational texts. The readings represent a wide variety of purposes and cultural perspectives, ranging from the Indian epic The Ramayana to accounts of Hurricane Katrina told through different media. Audio and video presentations enhance students' awareness and command of rhetorical techniques and increase their understanding of writing for different audiences. ENGLISH 11 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English III In the English 11 course, students examine the belief systems, events, and literature that have shaped the United States.

Reading the words of Frederick Douglass and the text of the Civil Rights Act, students look carefully at the experience of African Americans and their struggle to achieve equal rights. Students explore how individuals cope with the influence of war and cultural tensions while trying to build and secure their own personal identity. Finally, students examine how technology is affecting our contemporary experience of freedom: Will we eventually change our beliefs about what it means to be an independent human being? In this course, students analyze a wide range of literature, both fiction and nonfiction. They build writing skills by composing analytical essays, persuasive essays, personal narratives, and research papers. In order to develop speaking and listening skills, students participate in discussions and prepare speeches. Overall, students gain an understanding of the way American literature represents the array of voices contributing to our multicultural identity. ENGLISH 12 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English IV The English 12 course asks students to closely analyze world literature and consider how we humans define and interact with the unknown, the monstrous, and the heroic. In the epic poems The Odyssey, Beowulf, and The Inferno, in Shakespeare's Tempest, in the satire of Swift, and in the rhetoric of World War II, students examine how the ideas of heroic and monstrous have been defined across cultures and time periods and how the treatment of the other can make monsters or heroes of us all. Reading Frankenstein and works from those who experienced the imperialism of the British Empire, students explore the notion of inner monstrosity and consider how the dominant culture can be seen as monstrous in its ostensibly heroic goal of enlightening the world. Throughout this course, students analyze a wide range of literature, both fiction and nonfiction.

MIDDLE SCHOOL AI Elem/Mid EpicEd Middle School AI introduces students to the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on society. Divided into four units, students will explore various aspects of AI, from basics to advanced topics. ENGLISH I 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English I English I Semester A introduces 9th-grade students to the foundational reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills essential for high school success. Students develop active reading and listening strategies, practice summarizing and paraphrasing, and build confidence in collaborative discussions and presentations. A focused study of grammar, punctuation, and sentence mechanics, including modifiers, voice, parallel structure, and phrase types, equips students to write with clarity and precision. Students then expand their vocabulary through the study of context clues, connotation, word parts, and precise language use. The semester moves into the characteristics of fiction, where students analyze literary elements, figurative language, sound devices, and authors' cultural and historical perspectives. The course culminates in an extended narrative writing project and an independent reading unit, where students apply their analytical skills to a self-selected text and produce a critical book review. ACT-aligned practice is woven throughout to support college and career readiness. English I Semester B shifts students toward argument, research, and classic literature. Students explore the characteristics of nonfiction and the elements of rhetoric, learning to analyze text structures, evaluate evidence, identify logical fallacies, and detect author's bias. Through study of the rhetorical triangle and appeals, students craft a polished op-ed featuring a clear thesis, integrated evidence, counterclaims, and intentional style and tone. Students then complete a research unit focused on developing research questions, evaluating source credibility, citing sources, and synthesizing information into an original project. The second half of the semester immerses students in classic literature, beginning with Greek mythology and Homer's The Odyssey, where students examine the hero's journey and produce multimodal projects that blend narrative, argumentative, and informative writing. Students then study the elements of drama through Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, decoding Shakespearean language, analyzing iambic pentameter, and creating a performance critique. The semester concludes with a capstone writing portfolio showcasing students' growth across genres and purposes, alongside continued ACT preparation. ENGLISH II 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English II English II Semester A guides 10th-grade students through the study of language, literary analysis, and argument writing. Students begin by sharpening their command of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure, learning to use context clues, word parts, connotation, and precise diction to communicate with clarity and intention. From there, students explore the structure of storytelling, analyzing characterization, setting, plot, conflict, point of view, tone, mood, and literary devices through a rich collection of short stories. The semester centers on a guided study of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, where students examine theme, author's perspective, and the social commentary embedded in dystopian fiction. The course concludes with an in-depth argument unit, in which students analyze rhetorical appeals, evaluate evidence, identify logical fallacies and bias, and write an original argumentative essay. ACT-aligned reading and English practice is woven throughout the semester to support college and career readiness. English II Semester B builds on Semester A by shifting students toward personal narrative, research, career readiness, and dramatic literature. Students begin by exploring the memoir genre, analyzing historical, cultural, and global perspectives in works by authors such as Amy Tan and George Takei before crafting an original memoir of their own. The course then moves into a career-focused research unit, where students develop research questions, evaluate sources, synthesize information, and produce a career research paper using MLA citation. Students next apply these skills to real-world writing tasks, drafting professional resumes and cover letters and practicing interview techniques rooted in effective speaking, listening, and collaboration. The semester continues with a study of drama through George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, examining dialect, characterization, and identity alongside paired poetry and nonfiction texts. The course concludes with an independent reading and writing unit that allows students to apply their analytical and compositional skills to a self-selected text. ACT preparation continues throughout the semester. ENGLISH III 1.0 unit (2 semesters) English III English III Semester A guides 11th-grade students through the foundational skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking that anchor an advanced study of American literature. Students begin by developing strong listening and speaking skills, learning to evaluate speakers' messages, collaborate effectively in diverse groups, and deliver impactful presentations. From there, students explore the reading process through close engagement with American literary works, contemporary essays, and influential speeches that span the historical foundations of American thought to modern perspectives. The semester continues with a focused writing process unit, where students develop the prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing skills needed to produce polished essays. Students then move into critical reading, sharpening their ability to analyze themes, motifs, character development, and rhetorical strategies in complex texts. A critical writing unit follows, where students craft sophisticated argumentative and analytical essays grounded in textual evidence. The course closes with a multimodal literacies unit that challenges students to interpret and create content that blends written, visual, and digital forms of communication.

О Эпике Поиск колледжей, финансовой помощи и стипендий носит весьма индивидуальный и личный характер, но не должен вызывать стресса. Команда Epic Charter Schools по подготовке к колледжу и карьере собрала множество ценных ресурсов, которые помогут вам начать свой жизненный путь после окончания школы. Мика Берк Консультант по вопросам финансовой помощи и стипендий micah.burk@epiccharterschools.org СЕССИИ И МЕРОПРИЯТИЯ Epic Family Calendar Financial Aid and Scholarship Sessions/Events Epic College & Career Financial Aid and Scholarship Recordings Подходит ли вам Epic? Получение высшего образования, будь то колледж или программа профессионально-технического образования, может стать отличной инвестицией в жизнь! В Epic Charter Schools мы понимаем, что инвестиции имеют свою цену. Мы стремимся сотрудничать со студентами и их семьями, предоставляя информацию, ресурсы и поддержку, необходимые для поиска и получения финансовой помощи тем, кто выбирает колледж или программу профессионально-технического образования после окончания средней школы. Costs Associated with Higher Education Four Main Ways to Pay for Higher Education Расходы, связанные с высшим образованием Стоимость обучения: Стоимость обучения — это цена курсов. Каждое учебное заведение и программа профессионально-технического образования устанавливают свои собственные тарифы на обучение. Сборы: Сборы — это расходы, взимаемые учебным заведением, включая, помимо прочего, курсы, помещения, мероприятия, парковку и техническое обслуживание. Учебники и принадлежности: Для большинства курсов требуются определенные учебники и различные принадлежности, такие как ноутбук, тетради, ручки и карандаши, а также специализированные лабораторные и программные материалы. Проживание и питание: Студенты, которые выбирают проживание в кампусе, если это возможно, будут оплачивать проживание в общежитии, включая кровать, письменный стол, коммунальные услуги, Wi-Fi и питание. Существует четыре основных способа оплаты высшего образования. Гранты: Гранты часто присуждаются на основе финансовой необходимости. Большинство грантов предоставляется государственными или федеральными органами власти. Право на получение государственных и федеральных грантов часто определяется на основании заявления на получение федеральной финансовой помощи студентам (FAFSA). Гранты, как правило, не требуют возврата, при условии выполнения студентом всех требований. Стипендии: Стипендии присуждаются студентам на основе различных критериев, включая финансовую нужду, успеваемость и/или таланты. Важно ознакомиться с официальными правилами и подробностями предоставления стипендий, касающимися критериев отбора, размеров выплат, сроков подачи заявок и другой информации. Стипендии могут предоставляться высшими учебными заведениями, а также различными организациями, фондами и частными лицами. Для получения большинства стипендий студентам необходимо заполнить бесплатную заявку на федеральную финансовую помощь студентам (FAFSA). Подача заявок на стипендии бесплатна. Стипендии не подлежат возврату. Займы: Займы — это средства, взятые в долг, которые необходимо вернуть, часто с процентами. Студенческие займы могут предоставляться федеральным правительством, частными финансовыми учреждениями или другими источниками. Федеральные студенческие займы, полученные путем заполнения бесплатной заявки на федеральную студенческую помощь (FAFSA), могут предложить множество преимуществ по сравнению с другими вариантами кредитования, включая более низкую фиксированную процентную ставку, отсутствие проверки кредитной истории или поручителя, гибкие планы погашения и возможность списания долга. Работа (федеральная программа трудоустройства студентов): Работа, в том числе и в рамках федеральной программы трудоустройства студентов, позволяет студентам зарабатывать деньги для оплаты обучения в колледже. Право на участие в федеральной программе трудоустройства студентов часто определяется на основании заявления на получение федеральной финансовой помощи студентам (FAFSA). Федеральная программа трудоустройства студентов предоставляет возможность частичной занятости, как на территории кампуса, так и за его пределами, для студентов бакалавриата, магистратуры и профессиональных программ, обучающихся в участвующих высших учебных заведениях. Подходит ли вам Epic? Заявка на получение федеральной финансовой помощи для студентов (FAFSA) — это защищенная форма, предлагаемая Министерством образования США (федеральная программа финансовой помощи студентам), которая определяет право студентов на получение финансовой помощи от правительства и большинства высших учебных заведений. FAFSA — это ключ к получению грантов, займов и возможностей трудоустройства во время учебы. Для многих стипендий также требуется заполнить форму FAFSA. FAFSA собирает личную и финансовую информацию от студентов, а во многих случаях и от их спонсоров, а затем применяет формулу для определения необходимой суммы финансовой поддержки. Важная информация Заявку FAFSA следует заполнять только в последний год обучения в средней школе, а затем ежегодно в течение всего периода обучения в высшем учебном заведении. Приём заявок на получение финансовой помощи по программе FAFSA начинается 1 октября каждого года или позднее.

Internal Scholarships External Scholarships Внутренние, или институциональные, стипендии обычно подразумевают финансовую помощь, предоставляемую высшими учебными заведениями. Внутренние стипендии, предоставляемые конкретным учебным заведением, не подлежат переводу в другие учебные заведения. Студенты могут подавать заявки на получение внутренних стипендий в тех колледжах, куда они подали заявление о зачислении. Перед подачей заявки студентам следует ознакомиться с правилами предоставления стипендий, включая процедуру подачи заявок и сроки, установленные высшим учебным заведением. Внешние, или сторонние, стипендии присуждаются организациями, не имеющими прямой связи с высшими учебными заведениями.

Это означает, что любого студента или сотрудника Epic, имевшего тесный контакт с человеком, у которого подтвержден COVID-19, или у которого самого подтвержден положительный результат теста, попросят сообщить об этом в Epic, чтобы мы могли передать информацию в государственные органы.

Политика Epic Charter Schools запрещает любую травлю любого человека в школе. Запрещенное поведение включает в себя случаи травли, спровоцированные использованием электронных средств связи, направленных непосредственно на учащихся и/или школьный персонал. Эта политика распространяется на все школы, входящие в состав округа. Травля — это антисоциальное поведение, которое может происходить как в очном, так и в онлайн-пространстве школы и отвлекает как жертву травли, так и ученика, участвующего в ней. Травля ученика на основе его расы, цвета кожи, вероисповедания, инвалидности, пола, сексуальной ориентации, возраста, религии или любой другой личной характеристики является основанием для дисциплинарного взыскания. 70 Okla. State. Sec. 24-100.3. Порядок сообщения о случаях травли: Сообщения о случаях травли должны быть оформлены на «Школьной форме сообщения о случаях травли», которая должна быть доступна учащимся в любое время в течение обычных школьных часов, в том числе в главном/приемном офисе микроцентров, а также может быть получена в школьном консультационном отделе. Заполненную форму необходимо передать учителю или руководителю учебного отдела. Любой человек, сообщивший об инциденте травли, также может сделать это, используя приложение Protect OK . Сообщения могут быть анонимными; однако, никакие формальные дисциплинарные меры не будут приниматься исключительно на основании анонимного сообщения. Увидел что-то?

Альбутерол — это ингаляционный препарат, который быстро открывает дыхательные пути, по которым воздух поступает в легкие и выходит из них, облегчая дыхание. Этот препарат безопасен и эффективен. Поскольку приступ астмы может произойти в любое время, быстрый доступ к альбутеролу важен для обеспечения безопасности детей с астмой в школах. Несколько сотрудников школы вашего ребенка прошли обучение для быстрого и безопасного реагирования на дыхательные чрезвычайные ситуации. Хотя сотрудники школы будут прилагать все усилия, чтобы связаться с родителями перед применением альбутерола, закон позволяет им применять альбутерол в экстренных случаях без предварительного контакта с родителями. Если у вашего ребенка астма, мы настоятельно рекомендуем вам уведомить школу вашего ребенка и предоставить им план действий при астме от врача вашего ребенка. Поскольку имеющийся в наличии ингалятор с альбутеролом не предназначен для замены личного ингалятора ребенка, мы также рекомендуем вам отправить в школу персональный ингалятор с альбутеролом, если у вашего ребенка астма. Если у вас возникнут какие-либо вопросы или проблемы, пожалуйста, свяжитесь с Джессикой Джонс по адресу Jessica.Jones@epiccharterschools.org.

Основываясь на сострадании и целеустремленности, мы работаем в рамках школьного сообщества, предоставляя значимые ресурсы и возможности, которые помогают семьям процветать. Благодаря увлекательным и эффективным программам, программа Epic по работе с сообществом действительно меняет ситуацию к лучшему — одного ученика, одну семью, один шаг за раз. В Epic мы стремимся сделать мир лучше — начиная с нашего собственного сообщества. В течение года мы реализуем инициативы по оказанию помощи, предоставляя необходимые, ощутимые ресурсы, чтобы помочь ученикам Epic и их семьям удовлетворить реальные жизненные потребности. В рамках нашей информационно-просветительской деятельности мы предпринимаем следующие меры: Осенняя акция по сбору пальто, шапок и перчаток С понижением температуры многие семьи испытывают трудности с приобретением подходящей зимней одежды. Собирая куртки, шапки и перчатки, мы помогаем ученикам Epic оставаться в тепле, здоровыми и готовыми к учебе в холодные месяцы. Весенняя акция по сбору подгузников и влажных салфеток. Подгузники и влажные салфетки — это предметы первой необходимости, которые могут стать тяжелым финансовым бременем для нуждающихся семей. Каждое пожертвование облегчает это бремя и обеспечивает комфорт, чистоту и уход за самыми маленькими членами нашего сообщества Epic. Кампания писем «Объятия для героев» Ученики и их семьи отправляют трогательные рукописные письма военнослужащим, находящимся в командировке. Эти письма вселяют надежду, ободрение и благодарность тем, кто служит вдали от дома. Этот акт служения помогает нашим ученикам понять ценность благодарности и связи с другими. Эти проекты — это больше, чем просто акты благотворительности; это акты любви и сочувствия, которые приносят реальную помощь, надежду и чувство собственного достоинства нуждающимся. Благодаря этим усилиям семьи, участвующие в программе Epic, получают возможность помогать другим, поддерживать их и становиться сильнее вместе. Общественные работы Программа общественной работы в Epic Charter School была основана на убеждении, что мы можем принести луч света другим, служа нашему сообществу, вселяя надежду и руководствуясь принципом «почему бы и нет». Мы стремимся показать нашим ученикам важность помощи другим в их сообществе. Количество мест в каждом проекте по оказанию помощи ограничено. Бронирование мест на каждый отдельный проект будет осуществляться в порядке очереди, поэтому, чтобы забронировать место, сделайте это как можно скорее. Возрастные ограничения будут различаться в зависимости от места проведения проекта. Родителей и опекунов просят присутствовать, сопровождать своих детей и обеспечивать транспорт до места проведения проекта и обратно. Учащиеся старших классов получат часы волонтерской работы, засчитываемые в качестве школьных кредитов. Если вы не сможете присутствовать, пожалуйста, отмените свою регистрацию, чтобы дать возможность другим учащимся Epic и их семьям принять участие в волонтерской работе. Дополнительные возможности для участия в общественно полезной деятельности будут размещаться на этой странице и в календаре на веб-сайте Epic Charter School по мере их появления. Если вы знаете ученика или семью, получающих помощь от Epic и нуждающихся в поддержке в рамках нашей программы работы с местным сообществом, пожалуйста, заполните форму ниже.

Образование и подготовка: Военные предлагают обширную подготовку в различных областях, часто с возможностью приобретения ценных навыков, которые могут быть полезны как во время, так и после службы. Многие рода войск также предоставляют льготы на образование, такие как программа GI Bill, которая помогает оплатить обучение в колледже. Лидерство и дисциплина: Военная служба учит сильным лидерским качествам, дисциплине и трудовой этике. Эти качества могут быть ценны в любой карьере и личной жизни. Здоровье и льготы: Военная служба предоставляет ряд льгот, включая медицинское обслуживание, жилищные пособия, пенсионные планы и многое другое. Эти льготы могут быть особенно привлекательны для молодых людей, только начинающих свою карьеру. Приключения и путешествия: Служба в армии предоставляет возможность путешествовать и увидеть мир, что может стать захватывающим опытом для тех, кто любит новые впечатления и вызовы. Чувство цели: Служба в армии может дать глубокое чувство цели и гордости, поскольку военнослужащие вносят вклад в безопасность своей страны. Возможности для продвижения по службе: В армии существуют четкие структуры продвижения по службе и повышения в звании, а усердная работа и преданность делу часто вознаграждаются карьерным ростом, руководящими должностями и расширением обязанностей. Поддерживающее сообщество: Военная служба способствует формированию сильного чувства товарищества и братства. Многие военнослужащие устанавливают прочные связи и дружеские отношения на всю жизнь, которые могут стать надежной опорой на протяжении всей их жизни. Возможности после службы: После службы многие ветераны обнаруживают, что их опыт и подготовка высоко ценятся гражданскими работодателями, что открывает перед ними хорошие перспективы трудоустройства в различных отраслях. В целом, для старшеклассника, стремящегося к структуре, личностному развитию и осмысленной карьере, служба в армии может предложить полезный и приносящий удовлетворение вариант.
