Curriculum
Lehman curriculum offerings are divided into three core programs or tracks: Advanced Placement, College Preparatory and Commercial Studies.

The Advanced Placement Program is for the highly academic student who wishes the highest academic preparation. This program requires students to take four courses each in English, science and math, and three courses in a foreign language and social studies. Students in Advanced Placement typically graduate with more than 25 Carnegie units of credit.
