Academic Planning

Tips for Choosing Classes

Create a schedule that is balanced for you. Taking two or more A.P. classes requires a significant amount of time, energy, and motivation. Consider extra-curricular activities, outside responsibilities, etc. when choosing rigorous courses.
Be thoughtful with your choices. Do not assume you can try a class and just drop later. Your options may be limited if you decide to change your schedule after the school year has begun.
When choosing alternative courses to your primary choices, please remember there is a good possibility you may be placed in your alternate course. Therefore, please make these choices carefully.
Do not take an A.P. or Honors course simply because you will receive a weighted grade. Consider your interests, passion, strengths and weaknesses. You may have limited options if you change your mind, so take the time to pursue courses of interest.
