Academic programs
Academy of Sustainability and Engineering
The Academy of Sustainability and Engineering at Edison (ASE) is a STEAM-based program which emphasizes real-life application of mathematics and sciences. The program is directed by Andrea Harrell.[2] ASE students take slightly specialized math and science classes which are directed towards sustainability and engineering.[3] The ASE program and, specifically, students who are ASE Lab Specialists, often use the Innovation Lab, an area at Edison which implements sustainable aquaponics systems, houses a variety of marine specimens, and is used by the robotics team, among other features.[4] The establishment of the Innovation Lab was spearheaded by Edison science teacher and Assistant Director of ASE Greg Gardiner. Gardiner was named 2018 California Teacher of the Year for his ability to engage students, his work with developmentally disabled students, his hands-on teaching style, and his positive energy.[5] ASE also runs several gardens at Edison which showcase native plants such as succulents in their natural habitats.[2] All ASE students participate in a stewardship event, in which they take part in some type of action that will positively affect the local environment. ASE also offers a Robotics and Hydrogen Fuel Cell Program, which competes against other schools, as well as an E-sports team.[4]
Model United Nations
The Model United Nations (MUN) program at Edison simulates United Nations committees in order to teach students skills of research, public speaking, debating, and writing, as well as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership.[6] This Honors-level program also teaches students basic social studies information alongside MUN assignments, projects, and conferences. After Freshman year, a typically small cut occurs, allowing only two classes (seventy-four students) as Sophomores in MUN. After Sophomore year, the program is reduced to one class, which remains until Senior year.
