Academic curriculum


Casa Roble uses the 4x4 block schedule in which students have four 90-minute classes per term. This allows for one more class per school year versus the normal seven class, full year schedule. To graduate, a student must pass the Senior Project and earn a total of 280 credits.
Under the "Refuse to Fail" program, implemented in 2008 by principal Christopher Klyse, students with failing grades in classes are required to turn in all work and receive mandatory tutoring until their grades are passing. This was implemented in an effort to improve grades and decrease drop out rates. As of 2011, Refuse to Fail is no longer in use.
