Course Planning

TEACHER RECOMMENDATIONS

Course level recommendations are made based on the professional judgment of our faculty. Students are encouraged to discuss placement recommendations and course options with their current teachers before meeting with their school counselor.

INCOMING FRESHMEN

Placements for English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies are determined through a placement rubric. 

MAPPING A 4-YEAR PLAN

Students are encouraged to create a course plan that is academically challenging, personally meaningful, and aligned with their goals for higher education and beyond. While graduation requirements provide a strong foundation, students should aim to go above and beyond by enrolling in the most rigorous courses they can manage without becoming overwhelmed. To stay on track, students should regularly monitor their progress toward graduation and map out a four-year plan that supports both college and career readiness.

PREPARING FOR POST-SECONDARY PLANNING

Whether you're planning for college or entering the workforce, a strong academic foundation is essential to staying competitive. College admission counselors look for transcripts that reflect both academic rigor and strong performance.

To build a solid foundation for college admissions, visit the Graduation Requirements page for recommended coursework. Since colleges and universities vary widely in their admissions criteria, it's important to research each institution’s specific requirements on their websites. For additional guidance, connect with your school counselor and reach out to college admissions offices directly.
