Choosing Honors or Non-honors

Honors and non-honors courses with the “same name” (e.g. Geometry and Geometry Honors, Precalculus and Precalculus Honors) cover the same core content. The degree of abstraction, review, in-class practice, scaffolding, and extensions related to that core content will vary between regular and honors courses.

Students in honors level classes should expect to…

      • Generalize observations and patterns
      • Represent mathematics abstractly
      • Derive and prove rules and theorems
      • Transfer learning to novel situations with minimal scaffolding

…more frequently than students in non-honors level classes.

Open Access�Students have the choice to take the regular or honors version of a course from year to year. However, students should plan to commit to that choice for an entire year. The ability for students to change levels mid-semester or at the semester is not guaranteed. Students should have a conversation with their counselor, teachers, and family when deciding on the appropriate level math course.
