Honors Courses
Honors (H) courses are for students working at higher, challenging levels and demonstrating skills at an accelerated pace.
- Students in the (H) level are expected to:
- Take immediate responsibility for independent learning with guided practice when needed.
- Review and study class material consistently in addition to completing assigned homework.
- Use recall and comprehension skills. The Honors level emphasizes higher-level thinking skills. Students’ work will demonstrate the use of higher learning skills such as problem-solving, inference, synthesis, and evaluation. The curriculum is more complex, challenging, and extensive than at the General level.
- In the event that research projects are assigned, be self-directed and independent in their research. The projects can take any of the following forms, including written, spoken, performed, or crafted. Students will be expected to complete these projects in addition to daily class work and homework.
- Adjust to an accelerated pace. Limited time is built into the curriculum for review.
- Homework will typically be assigned a minimum of four times a week. It will require students to read, write, problem-solve, review, memorize, design, or craft. Summer assignments may also be provided.
