PHS Pillar Programs
Palisade High School offers three distinct and enriching pathways designed to cater to the diverse needs and ambitions of our students:
Middle Years Programme (MYP)
is a comprehensive educational framework designed to cultivate a deep understanding of learning concepts and skills, rather than simply focusing on content. ALL 9th and 10th graders are in our MYP.
The Diploma Programme (DP)
is a rigorous, two-year program that offers breadth and depth through interdisciplinary learning and transfer of skill development. It is highly preparatory for students headed to college and university!
The Elevate Program
is an extension of MYP values and provides students with authentic experiences such as internships, apprenticeships and concurrent coursework.
