At the Wednesday Manhattan Beach Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting, the Board approved the addition of three new courses as well as a senior internship pilot program at Mira Costa for the 2014-15 school year.
The three new courses are Computer Programming and Apple App Design, Advanced Placement Psychology and Robotics. If not enough students enroll in each class, the course will be cut.
“I think this will provide a variety of options for kids to take different courses,” Costa Principal Dr. Ben Dale said.
The senior internship class, which includes a weekly discussion, individual meetings with a teacher and a final presentation, requires students to find an independent internship. Students must also attend a workshop for skill development.
“Hopefully, these internships will mean something to the students,” MBUSD Superintendent Dr. Michael Matthews said.
