Your Student's Year at a Glance

Every Milwee student follows a full 7-period schedule built around the eight IB MYP subject groups. Four periods are year-long core courses: Language and Literature, Mathematics, Sciences, and Individuals and Societies, with standard, advanced, and high school credit options in many subjects.

The other three periods hold 6 semester electives. Four of those meet the required areas of Arts, Design, Language Acquisition, and Physical and Health Education, and the remaining 2 are entirely your student's choice. Year-long electives, like band or Spanish 1, simply use two of those semesters.

The table below shows what this looks like for each grade. Solid green marks a required course, light green marks a required area where your student chooses the course, and white slots are open for any elective.

Reduced Schedules

The schedule above reflects a full 7-period day, which is what we plan for every Milwee student. Some families choose to have their student take fewer classes with us, such as when a course is taken through Florida Virtual School or through part-time enrollment. We're happy to work with families on these requests through our grade level counselors.

Please keep in mind that we build the master schedule around our full-time students, so we cannot guarantee when an unscheduled period will fall during the day. Students are supervised on campus only while they are in a scheduled class. That means families of students on a reduced schedule are responsible for:

• Dropping off late or picking up early when the open period falls at the start or end of the day

• Signing the student out and back in through the front office when the open period falls in the middle of the day

• Arranging their own transportation when the student has no first period, since arriving by bus would leave the student on campus without a scheduled class
