It is recommended that students take a fourth year of science and a third year of foreign language.

 

Honors classes                        

In 9th-12th grade, honors classes are selected. For most honors classes, an A (B requires a teacher recommendation) in the previous College Prep class or an A or B (C requires a teacher recommendation) in the previous Honors class is required. Exceptions to the prerequisite minimums will be made only after permission has been granted by the student's parents, the teacher of the course, and the administration. Honors courses receive one additional grade point value.
