available through the compact that are housed at other schools include aviation, culinary arts, theater arts, automotive repair and technology, banking and finance, and early childhood educational aide training. Each program also has co-curricular component, meaning they have both in-class and outside requirements and responsibilities that are factored into the student's overall grade. One example is the Roosevelt chapter of DECA, which is part of the marketing education program. In 2016, DECA members representing Roosevelt advanced to the international competition for the 30th consecutive year. Academies The Expedition Academy is an advanced program based on the Expeditionary Learning model of Kurt Hahn and uses both traditional and experimental teaching methods and models. It was formed in 1999 as a result of a study using focus groups and interviews of 300 students which found that students generally felt they needed more "real-world" applications to their school work including community service, problem solving, and curriculum integration. The two-year program includes advanced courses in English, U.S. and world history, biology, and ecology and also includes a health class and an academy-specific physical education class integrated with outdoor education and community service. Arts Roosevelt offers several visual and performing arts classes and programs that vary according to grade level and interest. Classes are also available in practical arts, such as consumer science, information technology, and industrial technology. While all fine and practical arts classes are electives, one full-year credit of either fine or practical arts is required to graduate. Roosevelt offers four successive levels of general art classes, as well as classes in drawing and painting, clay and sculpture, glass and fiber, and an Advanced Placement studio art class that focuses on portfolio development. Three successive levels of photography classes are also offered. Generally, each art class lasts for a semester. A full-year general music theory class is offered for students of varying musical backgrounds, and semester-long courses in acting and directing and play production are also available. The musical performing arts programs—band, orchestra, and choir—are considered co-curricular, with the out-of-class requirements usually in the form of performances and additional rehearsals not during the school day. Each musical group also has additional extra-curricular ensembles and solo opportunities. Ensembles and soloists participate annually in the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) Solo and Ensemble Adjudicated Event, while the main groups participate in OMEA's Large Group Adjudicated Event. These events allow students to perform for judges and
