Independent Study

Any student may choose to learn about a topic or subject that is for elective credit through the Independent Study Project. Independent Study may involve an investigation of one specific area of a subject for which both the student and the advisor share an appreciation. It may involve out-of-school endeavors or a vocational interest. This involves an individual student working with a faculty advisor on a project approved by the Principal. The project results from a written application made to the advisor by the student prior to the commencement of study. A minimum of 75 hours is required for one-half unit of credit and a minimum of 150 hours is required for one unit of credit. Independent Study is excluded from the required minimum of classes in a student’s schedule. Applications for the Independent Study Contract Agreement may be obtained from the main office.
