Special Programs in the MHS Program of Studies

Online classes - If juniors or seniors have a class called TEC/ VHS Online on their schedules, they are taking an online class through either Virtual High School (VHS) or The Education Cooperative (TEC). The comprehensive course catalogs for both of these programs feature varied offerings taught by teachers from across the United States. Students must demonstrate high level of independence, good time management skills, and the ability to engage in online learning. These juniors and seniors have one period in their schedule to complete their assignments in the LMC. The grades that are assigned are updated regularly through the student's online portal and the final grade will be posted on the report card and transcript at the end of the semester. For additional information and Medfield's course expectations, please see the attached information.

Independent Study - This opportunity is for juniors and seniors to pursue a rigorous and focused course of self-motivated independent study. Students with an independent study in their schedule have submitted a proposal to the Independent Study Committee and been approved. The teacher listed on the schedule monitors the progress of the student's study and assigns a pass/fail grade at the end of each term. Students are required to keep a weekly record of their progress, detailing the tasks completed and progress towards their goal.
