MasterClass

MasterClass is a credit flexibility option that requires the same process as other flex-credit courses. MasterClass is slightly different than a regular flex credit course in that the student is mentored during a specific bell of the day and at the end of the class makes a final presentation before a committee of teachers detailing their learning. The committee evaluates the student’s work and provides a grade based on a specific rubric. MasterClass is an opportunity for students to turn their interest into a passion by creating their own curriculum, taking ownership of their learning, and reflecting on how they progress as a learner. This class is not a core course or required elective credit but counts as an extra elective credit towards graduation. Please see your counselor for a MasterClass Credit Flexibility Application.
