Schedule:                          

The two semester block (4x4) schedule allows students to earn up to four credits each semester in 80-minute classes.  It is therefore possible for a student to complete, for example, both French I and French II in the same year, or both AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC.  These are separate, full-credit courses completed in one semester (half-year) each. There is a 45 minute class period each day devoted to CONNECT where students can meet with teachers for extra help, join a club, complete homework, complete guidance tasks and etc.
