The Minerva® Baccalaureate (MBacc) is a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary high school program designed to equip students with essential 21st-century skills. Developed by Minerva Project, this program combines rigorous academics with active, discussion-based learning - helping students become creative thinkers, effective communicators, and globally minded leaders.
Minerva Baccalaureate integrates five core subjects - Math, Science, English, Social Studies, and Social-Emotional Learning - into one cohesive learning experience.

The MBacc format at HTA offers the best of both worlds — interactive online learning on the Forum™️ platform, combined with engaging in-person classes on campus.
