The Exploratory Program is a program where Freshman or 9th grade students attend a 6-day sampling of every shop. This version of the Exploratory Program was put in place for the 2022–2023 school year. A previous Exploratory Program is known as the Pre-Exploratory Program, and included a 1-day Pre-Exploratory sample of every shop. During these Pre-Exploratories shop instructors would give a brief introduction of what is done in the shop and what you will get if you join this shop. These Pre-Exploratory days would then be followed by 7 day programs for each shop. Before the school year started students would pick a total of 13 shops to explore for seven days. Any shops that were not selected at the beginning of the year would not be explored. The Pre-Exploratory Program was abolished in favor of the current Exploratory Program as Pre-Exploratories were deemed not worth the time. This was also done in response to complaints of the inability to sample every shop in the school from parents and students. During the last Exploratory students would choose the shops, via a ranking system, that they would work in for their high school career. The ranking system had 4 options. Students had the highest likelihood to receive their 1st choice and the 4th choice has the lowest likelihood. An extremely rare occurrence can happen where a student receives none of the shops on their rankings. This can happen due to a mixture of poor Exploratory grades, poor Academic grades, and or poor attendance. Receiving this is known around the school as "Going Bust". After the last Exploratory is completed students would begin attending shop.The Artisan
