Eleventh Grade
Eleventh graders navigate the most critical high school year by balancing a rigorous set of courses and beginning an intensive post-secondary planning phase (for both college and career). Juniors may initiate or lead clubs. Flexible time in their schedule is used to pursue deeper research, collaborate with team members, make appointments with teachers, and develop their post-secondary plan.
