As an alternative to Directed Study, or as an elective, seniors may choose to develop a plan for community based learning. Each senior who is interested will meet with a guidance counselor to plan his/her experience. With an approved plan a senior could leave school early (E period or D and E periods) to do an independent learning experience for one or more trimesters. The experience might be: community service, an internship, a college class, independent study, work-study, or something similar.

Contact your student's guidance counselor for information about the Senior Year Option Program.
