Program Overview
A 21st Century approach to learning that customizes instruction based on each individual student’s needs.
Our instructional method is self-paced, teacher directed and technology-centered. Formative assessment is included in each course to track instructional practices.
Our Curriculum is focused on the core subjects of reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science. The teachers are trained to (and the computer programs are designed to) ensure that each student demonstrates
mastery of the current lesson before they move on to the next lesson. This ensures that NO STUDENT IS LEFT BEHIND. All Enterprise curricula are aligned to the State Standards and also meet Local requirements.
Teachers and administrators are always well informed of every student’s strengths, weaknesses, and progress towards graduation. Each student, parent, and guardian has access to real time information concerning graduation status.
Enterprise also teaches the skills that each student will need to make the transition from high school to college, technical training or the workforce. We want each graduate to be a responsible member of their community.
Curriculum
Enterprise High School offers a variety of curriculum solutions to meet every student’s need that they can complete at their own pace to stay on track for graduation.

Credit Recovery
Credit recovery can help reduce dropout rates by enabling students to quickly recover the credits they need to graduate. Credit recovery at Enterprise High School can be ideal for students who:
- Are short credits for graduation due to failing a course.
- Are falling behind on credits due to failure of a course or a semester of a course.
- Have missed course requirements due to illness or schedule conflicts and consequently failed a course or a semester of a course.
Credit Recovery
Reading Plus is an online reading support curriculum for our students. It allows students to read interdisciplinary informational or literary texts and receive specialized academic vocabulary and reading comprehension instruction while teachers monitor progress and performance. The program is designed to build capacity, stamina, and motivation. Students access the program and receive support from teachers in all classrooms at Enterprise High, and have the ability to work on Reading Plus at home. Our goal is to improve student’s overall reading abilities, and to assist them in passing the FSA, ACT, or SAT test to complete the state reading requirements to graduate.
Imagine Math
Imagine Math is an online supplemental math curriculum that adapts to the unique needs of each student. The system sets up students on personalized learning pathways to help them develop the necessary skills in order to pass the standardized state assessments. The pathways are set up for Algebra I FSA-EOC, Geometry EOC, PERT Math and/or ACT/SAT. As students work independently through the guided learning sections, they will have access to a live help feature that will connect each student to a certified teacher if the student gets stuck on a concept or lesson. Students can receive support in English or Spanish at any time and on any day of the week, excluding some holidays.
Write Score
Write Score is an online resource that provides formative ELA assessments which we assign students 3 times a year to help gauge and improve their literacy skills. Using Write Score’s standards-aligned assessments, and timely data reports, teachers are able to facilitate differentiated instruction to meet our students’ diverse literacy needs and help prepare them to pass the English Writing FSA test, which is a requirement for graduation.
Applerouth
At EHS, our English, Math and Reading teachers are utilizing Applerouth, one of the premier online test preparation sites, to help our students score high on the ACT and SAT tests. Students work with teacher guidance while taking advantage of Applerouth’s practice tests that generate customized lessons including interactive instructional videos, printed lessons, and more. Passing these tests enables students to meet their Florida high school graduation requirement. Many of our students are also using the program to increase their test scores for college entrance. Since using Applerouth, our teachers have seen significant improvement in student’s test scores.
The Enterprise High School Vocational Program includes three courses: Work Experience, Workplace Essentials, and Personal and Family Finance.
Work Experience is a popular course because students can earn up to four elective credits by working or volunteering. One credit of this course is a graduation requirement.
Workplace Essentials is a work readiness course which provides skills and knowledge essential to a successful career. This course may be accessed from a home computer. This course is required for graduation. The purpose of Personal and Family Finance is to give students an overview of money management, saving and investing, spending and credit, taxation and financial planning. This is an elective course.
Three teachers in the ESE Department work with Exceptional Education students in making sure their paperwork is in compliance with state standards. We also work with the students and teachers to make sure all accommodations are in place within the classroom so that students are able to work to their potential. We work with all students in the classroom, individually, and in small groups. We help them with reading, math strategies and time management skills. This helps with their confidence and teaches them how to work independently.
The three teachers are divided among the classrooms. Ms. Ally Green works in the English and Reading classes. Mr. Sivesind works in the Science and Social Studies classes, and Mr. Muscaro works in the Math classes.
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program at Enterprise High School is designed to help students who either come from other countries and are learning English or are from the United States but are learning English as their second language. These students receive support and accommodations from Mr. Jarquin (ESOL teacher), Ms. Velasco (Bilingual Aide), and the rest of the staff to help them complete their classes and to increase their ability to read, write, and speak English proficiently.
Each year the English proficiency of ESOL students is assessed to monitor progress and to see where additional support is needed. The goal of the ESOL program is to help students finish their classes and meet all the requirements for graduation so they can receive a high school diploma.
