A.D. Henderson University School is within its own school district and thus does not necessarily follow any other school district's calendar. Our calendar is voted on and is then approved by our School Advisory Body.
//
FAU High School students follow different school calendars depending on their grade level and coursework. 9th-grade students follow the A.D. Henderson University School & FAU High School Calendar, while 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students must follow the Florida Atlantic Calendar.
The FOCUS Parent Portal is a web-based tool designed to enhance communication and involvement for parents in their child’s education. This portal allows you to monitor progress in school, attendance, class schedule, discipline information, assignments, grades, billing information, school calendars, retrieve report cards, and re-enrollment.
FOCUS also has a convenient mobile app! Parent/guardians need an active FOCUS account to sign into the app. See instructions and a parents quick guide for the FAU Schools FOCUS community app here and make sure to download below.
Parents/Guardians can create a new parent/guardian FOCUS account, add student to their existing account, or recover a forgotten password right from the main FOCUS login page . Please follow these instructions when creating a new FOCUS account.
Students will continue to log into FOCUS using their 10 digit school number.

School health screenings are helpful in detecting issues that may interfere with student learning. Hearing and vision tests are important because difficulties with these senses are often subtle and difficult to detect. Early detection and interventions are key.
