Financial Literacy is a one semester Elective, currently required for graduation.
There are three platforms students can choose electives from Anchor, IDLA, and a few BYU Independent Study courses.
Electives can also include additional core classes like Geography, World Civilizations, Ancient History, extra science, etc. We are often asked if Driver's Education can be used as an elective. Driver's Ed is available through IDLA as a 1/2 credit. It can only be taken as an overload class (meaning your 7t7th-periodlass). That is the only Driver's Education class that can be listed as a class on your schedule. Please note that individual assignments and grading rubrics may change each semester. Students will be asked to meet the requirements for each class, during the semester they register for the class.
The IDLA website has many other class offerings. IDLA classes generally have a $100 fee unless taken as an overload or a Dual Credit class.
Health/PE courses
Health/PE courses
Health is the science of YOU! How do you work, how do others work, and how do we all work together? Health and Physical Education work together to help prepare students to maintain a healthy and physically active lifestyle.
“Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.” John F. Kennedy
One semester of Health is required for graduation, but we offer two semesters of Health and a variety of PE classes!

This one semester class is required for graduation. Outside curriculum isn't needed as students spend their time researching and applying the concepts they learn during each week's Mastery assignment.

A step counter, either watch or other digital counter, is needed for the last log, and can be ordered using supplemental learning funds.
