Schedule Requirements

Each student must choose seven classes each semester. Students are encouraged to select a variety of courses from our comprehensive curriculum. Please be aware that a schedule full of Level 4 and 5 courses will require a rigorous commitment to homework and study each night.  

As you make your course selections, remember to consider (1) your interests and academic goals, and (2) a balance between challenging coursework and your commitments outside the classroom.

Refer to this Program of Studies for courses and descriptions. The Course Catalog found in PowerSchool can also guide you.
