INDEPENDENT STUDY
Independent Study
½ credit semester
Grades 9 - 12
Independent Study is an opportunity to earn credit for learning outside the formal class structure. A
student who is interested in knowing more about a topic not covered in the regular curriculum may
propose a research project to any department faculty member. If a student and faculty member can
agree that the topic is worth investigating, that it is not covered (or not covered in sufficient depth) in
departmental courses and they share sufficient interest in the topic to sustain an independent study
project, they may submit an Independent Study Agreement form.
Students should obtain an
Independent Study Agreement form from the guidance department.
