At EOC, we encourage students to make the most of their flexible schedule, balancing learning with their other priorities in daily life--sports, socializing, part-time jobs, and family. Each day, a student has their advisory class for 30-45 minutes at 8:30, 9:00, and 9:15 am. They must also attend a one-hour math class, typically held between the hours of 10:00 am and 1:30 pm. Students should also plan to meet with their advisors for 15-30 minutes each day for a one-on-one meeting. For the other four hours of schoolwork they complete each day, students may use their time flexibly.

Check out a sample of some of our students' schedules:
