Course Levels

COURSE LEVELS

It is the mission of Wayne Public Schools to prepare all students at the high school level for college and post-secondary education. With that goal in mind, all of our course levels offer a curriculum rich in college preparatory topics and skills.

• Advanced Placement – College level courses that use approved College Board Advanced Placement curriculum leading to the taking of an AP exam. Departmental or teacher approval is required for placement in these course. Students taking courses designated at the AP level are prepared for and expected to take the exam in May.

• The Honors Course Sequence – Honors classes expect students to perform above grade level with critical analysis and in-depth study. Students will be expected to be able to synthesize and evaluate information at a high level on Bloom’s taxonomy. Registration in these courses is through departmental recommendation based on the student’s previous academic performance.

• The Enriched Course Sequence - Enriched courses are designed for students who are at or above grade level and have a strong work ethic and grasp of foundational skills. These courses enrich the curriculum through increased pace, in-depth study, and additional topics of interest to the regular course of study.

• The General Course Sequence – College-preparatory course sequence for students whose skills are at grade level.
