Why do we have a 9th Grade Academy?
9th Grade Academy Student Courses
9th Graders (Freshman) at Berkmar High School have a total of SEVEN academic courses and ONE Advisement course. Below are videos that represent a College Prep Student Schedule. Advanced option information is available HERE.
9th Graders will be given a hard copy of the Choice Book. The Choice Book is a high school planning guide for students in Gwinnett County Public Schools. You can find it here as well (the website needs to be update with the current book but you can view prior years right now).
9th Grade core courses will be chosen for each student by their 8th grade teachers but students get to choose their electives courses. Make sure to view the videos to know what you are interested in and then come back here and fill out the ELECTIVES CHOICE FORM.
