Honors classes are offered in grades 9 - 12.Â
Each honors class carries a 0.5 additional weight on a student's GPA.
Honors courses have higher expectations, move at a faster pace, and require strong organization and time management skills.
These courses demand more independent learning and critical thinking than regular classes.
If you have struggled in a subject before, enrolling in an honors course in that area is not recommended.
Choosing not to take honors courses now does not prevent you from enrolling in them later in high school.
Be prepared for a significant increase in pace and rigor if you transition into honors courses later.
Success in honors classes requires dedication, self-motivation, and a willingness to take on academic challenges.
