Course Levels

We level classes to match content and tempo with student interests and abilities. Unfortunately, the words “Level 1” and “Level 2” can give the wrong impression. In Glastonbury, Level 2 is a rigorous academic level of study. It is the best fit for the majority of our students. Level 1 is designed to serve students who are exceeding grade-level expectations. It should be considered as an honors-level of study.

It’s important that your children are challenged at the correct level. If a class is too easy or too hard, learning, growth, and a student’s enthusiasm all decline.   

We urge students and parents to carefully consider teacher recommendations for course placement. Our teachers make these recommendations with care. They know your children and are experienced in identifying the best academic “fit” for them.  

If you question a level recommendation, please talk with your child about it. We encourage you to take some time to complete this Student Self Reflection Form together. This tool will guide you to consider your child’s current work habits and their strengths and weaknesses.
