12 May Exceptional Electives
Students are igniting a buzz around town, sharing with friends how cool the electives are at The School for Entrepreneurship and Technology (SET High). 8th graders who visit SET for a Shadow Day inevitably mention with excitement that they are intrigued by our electives. Offering a deeper dive into unique subjects that foster curiosity, creativity and critical thinking is one of the many reasons that we see these 8th graders return to SET for 9th grade.
In addition to the top quality academic classes we teach at SET, our elective courses offer students a wide range of subjects to explore. From Civil Litigation Trials to Making Beats: the Basics of Music Production, to Debunking Disney, our high quality instructors are inspired to share individual interests and passions through our electives.
SET High teachers are energized by teaching personal favorites which in turn engages our students’ curiosities. The approach to teaching through unique and wide-ranging courses sets us apart from other schools. Our creative and innovative high school is public, tuition-free, and a great option for all 9th to 12th graders in San Diego, CA.
Debunking Disney and YouTube: Creating a Personal Brand
We believe that there is not one intelligence, beauty, athletic ability, religion, body type, learning style, sexual orientation, or gender expression that all should be measured against. This is one reason that SET High teachers chose to create unique classes like Debunking Disney and YouTube: Creating a Personal Brand. Our innovative classes encourage deep inquiry, providing SET students with awareness and strength to accept and celebrate every individual.
Unique Curriculum
SET’s electives are largely inventive, one-of-a-kind classes designed to open students’ minds to new directions of inquiry. The focus on teaching through a unique lense doesn’t stop at elective courses though – it also shapes many of our core curriculum classes as well.
