Course Descriptions

Advanced Placement: College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admission officers that students have sought the most challenging curriculum available to them.

Honors: Honors classes are academically rigorous both in breadth and depth of content. Students who select honors level courses should be prepared to learn at a faster pace and do more work independently. Coursework will be assigned on a regular basis and will require significant time outside of class to complete. Students should expect to produce work at a high level as they study topics which deepen their understanding of the material and challenge themselves as learners.

Academic: Academic courses are designed to prepare students for any pathway after high school, including preparation for college. There is a high level of learning through teacher-guided instruction, practice, and work-time in class. Coursework will be assigned as needed and will, at times, require time outside of class to complete.

Resource: The Resource level is a specialized course for students who qualify under the needs of their individualized special education plan to improve skill level.
