Course Descriptions

COURSE LEVEL 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 level courses place high expectations on students to have sound study habits, strong motivation to achieve and a significant amount of independent work.

College Prep:  The College Prep (CP) level expects students to engage daily in their studies to develop and refine the skills and acquire the content knowledge for success in a post secondary education.

General/On level:  General level courses are designed to ensure students meet all content standards and acquire a solid understanding of their learning process and the skills necessary to continue learning.

  In selecting a level, students should challenge themselves to maximize their educational opportunities for postsecondary success.  It is important to understand that students are not “locked-in” to a level for their entire high school experience.
