The normal school day is six periods and without special arrangements all students are enrolled for a six period day. Any variation in this minimum class load must be suggested by parents, recommended by a counselor, and approved by the administration.
All courses carry the same full credit since all meet five times a week.
Full year courses are counted semester by semester. Near the end of the preceding year a program for each year is worked out for each student in a series of steps involving the student, counselor and parent. Courses are selected by the students, approved by the parent and counselor and fit into the master schedule. Each semester, for the first two weeks only an extremely limited opportunity to change this schedule is available. Some hours and some departments will be more difficult than others.
