The Network of Complementary Schools

The Academy at Charlemont is a member of “The Network of Complementary Schools,” an organization that invites students of participating schools to visit any of the 19 member schools around the country, including Ontario and Puerto Rico.

Students who participate can choose to follow the host school’s daily program or to take part in a wide variety of special programs. Participating schools offer special programs in Performing Arts, Culinary Arts, Computer Science, Urban Studies, Agro-Business, Outdoor Education and much more.

Typical program length is 1-2 weeks. Accommodations are provided in host families’ homes. Students in 9th to 12th grade are eligible to apply. The cost to the student is usually limited to travel expenses, though in some cases, participation in the special programs incurs additional fees.

You can learn more about each school’s location and program by visiting the Network’s website, www.netcompsch.org.
