Four Clear Steps

Families receive guidance throughout the process, from the first review through final schedule confirmation.

  1. Review the Documents

    Students and parents should read the Course Selection Overview Letter and review the 2026 to 2027 Program of Studies together.

    Students meet individually with their school counselor to discuss recommendations, requirements, interests, and goals for next year.

    Meetings take place in late February and early March

  3. Review and Approve

    After courses are selected, a complete list is emailed home so the student and family can review and approve the requests.

  4. Build the Schedule
