3 Tips for Selecting "Just Right" Classes

KJH Virtual Open House

Four Year Plan / Graduation Requirements

9th Grade Course Request Form 
(for current 8th grade students registering for 9th grade)

Tips for 9th Grade:

• If you choose to take Secondary Math 1 Honors, you will need to choose an extra elective class. It is strongly recommended that you enroll in Knight Academy study hall class for a full year to support you because the work load will be heavy in the single-blocked math class.
• If you choose to take an AP class, you must also take AP Research for the entire year. AP classes are college-level classes that provide an opportunity to earn college credit if you pass the test at the end of the year. The work load for AP classes is high.
• The semester-long geography class covers an entire year of material in a semester, and is therefore considered an advanced class. The work load is high. If you choose to take the semester geography class, you will need to choose an extra elective class for 2nd semester.
• Biology is an advanced course if taken in 9th grade. The work load is high. If you choose to take biology in 9th grade, you will need to take chemistry or physics in high school to meet the state science requirement for graduation. Both chemistry and physics require higher level math skills. If you take earth science next year, you will be able to choose biology, chemistry, or physics as your second foundation science class at the high school.
