Program Overview
Honors / Standard Program Comparison
Honors classes differ from Standard in the following ways:
- Accelerated and higher complexity of study
- Complete some tasks beyond current grade level standards and explore the skills addressed in the subsequent grade level standards
- Students work more independently, with teacher support as needed
- Because pacing is faster, students will read additional texts, some of which are completed as homework
- Writing is more sophisticated (stronger vocabulary, more complex and varied sentence structure, greater depth of thought and analysis) and more extensively researched
- Assigned readings may be at a higher level of difficulty
