IDEA Academy
A concept already implemented at other schools throughout the county, Campbell began a Ninth Grade Academy in the fall of 2008. The program is structured to provide a smooth transition from middle school to high school. Housed in the 800-900 wings of the main building, students each have Advisement and most of their Core Classes here, the exception being Freshmen in the IB Program—PIB classes are still housed within their departments around campus. The Academy creates a small, central learning community within the Campbell High community, slowly transitoning Freshmen into high school with different social activities and opportunities to become involved at Campbell. By the end of the second semester, the students exit the academy and join the rest of the pupils at Campbell, making room for the next class at the IDEA Academy. The students primarily come from Campbell and Griffin Middle Schools, though the IB Program brings students from all over the county.
