The total number of credits carried is 7. Honors Biology, Honors English 1, Honors Algebra 1, and Honors Geometry are open to qualified freshmen. Placement in any of these courses is determined by grades, Terra Nova scores, and, for the math courses, placement tests. In addition, students may test into higher level language courses through placement exams. Each day you will meet with five of these classes and have a lunch.
Classes are one hour long except for the third class, which is longer to accommodate lunch.
You do not meet with the exact same classes each day. For example, on Monday you might have Religion, English, PE, Spanish, and Chorus. This rotating schedule helps to reduce the number of classes for which a student has homework to do each night. Instead of having homework due each day for seven classes, a student only has five classes' worth. The schedule is not a block schedule, but still helps to prepare students for the responsibilities of a college schedule.
