Course List and Descriptions

Honors Courses

Students may qualify for honors in one, two, three or all core subject areas.

To determine course placement and eligibility for honors, students will undergo an annual academic review.  Factors considered include but are not limited to prior course grades/progress, assessment scores (including course placement tests), engagement and compliance in schooling, and teacher recommendation.

Students must qualify each year to remain in honors for each subject area.  If a student previously completed an honors course and does not qualify for the subsequent honors course, the student will complete the traditional offering. 

Students who do not qualify for honors one year may qualify for honors the next year.

Students who are recommended for honors may opt to complete the traditional offering instead.

No quality points (additional 0.5 credit) are awarded for honors courses; however, students will receive the honors notation on progress reports.

Students who begin an honors course and wish to be removed may drop the course in early fall.

VAVA Middle School administrators reserve the right to modify student course placement at any time during the school year based on course grades/progress, assessment scores, engagement and compliance in schooling, and teacher recommendation.
