CourseSelectionInformation

When making a course decision, students and parents should consider the requirements of the course. Honors classes are available for your consideration. Youandyourchildneedtoconsider the accelerated pace of the advanced/honors classroom, associated homework and outside readings,andcourseprojectswhenelectinganhonorscourse.

Honors classes are available for the student who can benefit by participating in classroom discussion and outside readings that require an understanding of concepts and in-depth mastery of subject matter. Before making this selection students should seriously consider theadditional requirements of an honors course and the profile of a student who is successful in an honors class.

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed for the highly motivated high school student who feels they are capable of handling college level work. These courses use college level materials. Students enrolled in these courses prepare to take the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) Advanced Placement examinations in May In many colleges and universities, a score of 3, 4, or 5 gives a student advanced placement in college and/or college credit. Before making this selection,however,studentsshouldseriouslyconsidertheadditionalrequirementsof anAPcourseandtheprofileofastudentwhoissuccessfulinanAPclass.

Students enrolled in an AP class must successfully completethecoursetoreceiveonefullcredit and quality points to average into their GPA. If a student withdraws from the course in the middle of the year, he/she will only receive the 0.5 credit for the semester completed and the

coursewillbeconsideredashonors.

Successful Advanced Placement students are capable of handling college level work. Since AP courses necessitate the use of college levelmaterials,thesuccessfulstudentshouldhaveattained a90%(A)averagegradesintheprevioushonorsorAPcourse.

Due to the heavy workload, high school studentsselectinghonors/APclassesmustpossessgood organizational and time management skills,andbehighlydisciplinedtobesuccessful.Generally speaking, the recommendation is to take no more than a total of threehonorsand/orAPcourses each year. Be advised that once enrolled in a course it may not be possible for a student to change toanotherclassortoalowerorhigherlevelclassduetotherestraintsandconflictsofthe individualstudent’sscheduleorifthestudentisbeyondtheadd/dropgraceperiod.

GuidelinesforChoosingandEnrollingin OnlineHighSchoolCourses

Students may enroll in online courses approved by Sagemont Prep in order to fulfill graduation requirements and/or broaden their educational portfolio through elective choices. The online learning experience is designed for highly motivated, self-starting students. AP, Honors, and regularcoursesareavailable.

Pleaseadheretothefollowingguidelineswhenchoosinganonlinecourse:

1. Sagemont students enrolling in online courses must receive prior approval from an administrator.

2. Sagemont will provide the time andassistanceforstudentsinterestedintakingonlineclasses other than the course noted above. However, the student will have to adhere to the requirements set by the independent online school since Sagemont will not monitor the student’s progress. This means that the completion of courses will be entirely the student’s responsibility. The assistant will help the student with enrollment only. A virtual school facilitatorwillcontacttheparentstocompletetheonlineprocess.

3. Sagemont willabidebytherulesoftheindependentonlineschoolandwillenterthestudent’s grades in theirtranscriptatfacevalue,includingtheW(withdraw)orWF(WithdrawFailed). Students enrolled in online courses have a grace period of 14 days, at the beginning ofeach semester, to drop a course. If the student chooses to withdraw from a onecreditcourseafter the 1st Semester, a “W” (withdrawal) for 2nd Semester will be reflected on the high school transcript.
