Last week and this week I am meeting one on one with each high school student to schedule their classes for fall. It is a great opportunity to sit and talk through courses they've already had, fill out their graduation checklist to determine what courses they still need and discuss plans for beyond high school.
It has shown me what amazing kids we have here at our school! I am so impressed by the students who have come asking questions, have already mapped out what they need, have looked up information about colleges they are interested in attending and more!
We have a straight 7 period schedule.
Students are required to take the following high school courses to graduate for all three diploma offerings:
4 Bible courses
4 English courses
