Special Program Arrangements

Acceleration Through School 

Learning experiences may be arranged to permit students who learn more rapidly to accelerate their progress through school.  Summer school offerings, cross-grade level groupings, electives, or any combination thereof may be used to accelerate progress.

Acceleration Through Content 

Students are encouraged to move to advanced levels of study or to more extensive studies through individualized instruction, cross-grade level groupings, competency testing and placement, electives, and extended course offerings.

Concurrent Enrollment 

Concurrent enrollment in high school and High School Continuation is permitted with appropriate authorization for the purpose of accelerating and/or enriching the high school program and on a space available basis.

Independent Study 

Independent study allows highly able and highly motivated students to explore an area of intense interest which is not offered in the high school program of study.  Independent study, including research, self-directed courses, internships, and volunteer or paid work experience, may be approved for high school credit by the high school principal under conditions specified in advance.  In general, independent study is comparable to the scope of an online course. Students may apply for an Independent Study by completing the application process available through the Office of Counseling Services during the spring preceding the year in which the Independent Study will occur.
