​

​

Basics

• Program is open to ALL students
• 40 min periods/class meets every other day

​

Typically:

• Research 1 – 9^th (or 10^th graders who haven’t had research)
• Research 2 – 10^th (or 11^th graders who haven’t had research)
• Research 11/12 – 11^th & 12^th graders
• After School Research- (11^th & 12^th graders who can not fit it in their schedule)

​

** All learning for all students funnels through their project with consideration given to their ability and passion**

• Student grades are based on a total points system (Assignments 100%).   The course is Pass/Fail for marking period 1 and 3. 

​

• Students will get a Numerical Grade for marking period 2 and 4

​

• MP2 will be calculated using all of the MP1 and MP2 assignments, and MP4 will be calculated using all of the MP3 and MP4 assignments.

​

• Marking period 2 and 4 will average for the Final Grade.
