Students in grades 6-8 may be placed in enrichment courses. Enrichment courses offer supplemental content and materials that often complements the core curriculum in our required classes. Students greatly benefit from the additional experience, skills, and knowledge they gain from enrichment classes. These benefits may aid students as they work towards mastery in their core subjects. Students are not necessarily able to select specific enrichment courses but may be placed in these courses based on scheduling and academic needs.
Any course taken above the Minnesota state graduation required courses is considered an elective course. Some elective courses are also supplementary courses which allow students to explore their interests and passions in more depth. Students in grades 9-12 have the opportunity to choose from several elective course options in various subject areas, including AP courses.
Study Hall is only available to students in grades 9-12. Study Hall is a time for students to work independently or in small groups on homework, prepare for tests/quizzes, catch up on missed assignments, and even read/journal/sketch. While homework is not assigned, attendance is taken each day. Students shouldn't have more than one study hall in their schedule.
