Course Scheduling
2025 Summer School
The 2025 summer school information will not be released until later this spring, but many students would like to consider options for the summer when planning their course selections for next year. This summer, all summer school offerings will be administered online through our partners Lincoln Edge and BYU.
To provide some general information:
- Credit Recovery Courses will be available to students who failed a required course during the school year.
- Enrichment Courses will be available to students who wish to take an elective credit in the summer to free up time in their schedule. Students can see options by visiting is.byu.edu. Students are generally not permitted to take one of their required core courses during summer school such as a World Language, Algebra 2, Geometry, Civics, Financial Literacy ... unless they receive counselor and administrative approval. Students wishing to take one of their typical core courses in the summer should contact their counselor to begin the approval process.
- Health is one required course that students are generally permitted to take during the summer following freshman or summer school.
The cost for credit recovery will be appx. $200, while the cost for enrichment courses will be appx. $225 per semester course. More information will be coming in the spring.

2025-26 Course Catalog and Selection Guide
The curriculum guide and course information that is above has been designed as an aid to students, parents, teachers, and guidance counselors in selecting programs and courses which are best suited to the students' goals, interests, aptitudes, and abilities. A primary goal of the course selection process is to ensure that the student is placed in courses that provide an optimum learning experience, consequently, student placement in academic coursework will be based upon past performance, ability as determined by standardized testing, and teacher recommendation. The proper placement is essential to healthy academic growth and positive self-image and it provides students the opportunity to successfully reach their potential.
In order to plan ahead for the greatest possible high school success, as well as post-school success, all students should assess their aptitudes, interests, talents, and goals before requesting specific courses. Students' choices play a large part in determining their chances for success in the future; therefore, we cannot overemphasize that course requests must be made with the greatest of care.
2025-26 Course Selection Corrections
While we strive for perfection with our selection sheets, invariably there are some items we miss. Here are a list of updates.
- AP Computer Science Principles (574) will be available to students in Grades 9, 10, 11, 12 during the 2025-26 school year.
Career Clusters Framework and Pathway Guides
The National Career Clusters Framework is a helpful tool that organizes careers into 14 broad groups, called Career Clusters. It's designed to help students explore career options and understand the different pathways available in each field. Instead of just thinking about a single job, Career Clusters encourage students to consider related occupations within a career area, from entry-level positions to advanced careers, and the education and skills needed for each. This framework helps students make informed decisions about their future and connect what they're learning in school to the world of work.
The current career clusters are grouped by Cluster Groups, which are large purpose-driven meta-sectors that help guide learners toward Clusters that are aligned with their interests, their sense of purpose, and the impact they want to make on their communities.
To help students select electives in a career cluster they are interested in, cluster pathway guides were created for most of the career clusters. The courses listed in each pathway guide are merely suggestions of courses that may help prepare students for careers within that pathway.
Students should consult their school counselor if they have any questions regarding specific courses.
