Grade 8 Course Information

Core Curriculum 

Note: Courses that have fewer than 15 students may not be offered based on student interest and budget considerations. In some cases, additional budget considerations may require that courses may not be offered in a given year and impacted students should select an alternative course. Additionally, courses with insufficient enrollment may be offered through distance or online learning.

Elective and Non-Core Courses 

Having experienced a variety of exploratory and elective courses during sixth and seventh grades, Grade 8 students have two or more elective periods to study subjects which particularly interest them. The possible combinations of courses vary with the individual school’s schedule. Students may also participate in elective courses if they are offered through the after-school Act II program.
