Academic Course content and expected student performance

require additional reading and writing at a rigorous level.

Academic is a “college-bound” level.

Honors and Pre-Advanced Placement Course content is rapidly paced with additional

depth. Lessons are often designed to be complex, abstract, and open-ended.

Advanced PlacementFreshman-college level workScoring well on the exam may earn college

creditAP is universally “known”

A word of advice:

Find the balance between challenging yourself academically and putting yourself in a situation

where you are overwhelmed because you have taken on too much. Keep in mind your extra-

curricular activities and responsibilities outside of school.

1. List what you have taken in high school, and what you are in now on the 4-Year Plan

2. List what you may want to take next year on the Scheduling Worksheet

3. Find your electives on the Elective Worksheet

4. Transfer your electives to the Family Connection survey

All students need to fit in Personal Finance & Economics before graduation! They must be taken together unless you plan to take AP Economics!
