Scheduling Recommendations and Information

  • In 12th grade, all graduation requirements must be met before electives will be scheduled.
  • Scholars are expected to take a full schedule – the equivalent of 6 courses each semester and take all of the requirements listed above.
  • Arts credit may be met through applied arts.
  • Some courses may be offered online with a teacher facilitator.
  • Full year courses are taken in two consecutive semesters; scheduling may require that two semester elective courses be ‘linked’ together for scheduling purposes.
  • Academic support classes are available including special education and language supported classes.
  • Advancing through the course sequence is dependent upon successful completion of the pre-requisite course.
