starting with the Ancient times and continuing to the Modern Times.
Students who successfully complete each year may receive an honors English and

at a college preparatory level. Students work at a level that is at least
1-2 grade levels higher than the grade level of the course.
Who should take an honors course?
Students who are task oriented and self-motivated should consider taking an
honors course. Students must have self-discipline and a strong work ethic.
Students should also have mastery of the 5 paragraph essay to take years 3 and
4. 5 paragraph essay writing is reviewed at the beginning of WS 1 and will be
practiced some in year 1 and extensively in year 2.
Who should not take an honors
course? Students who do not have time to study and complete homework a minimum of 8-10
hours a week should not take honors English. Students who are not strong in grammar, punctuation, reading, and writing
skills should take our regular high school English 1-4 courses. Our HS
English 1-4 courses are college preparatory, but are not as accelerated and
writing intensive as our Word in Season Classes. HS English 3 and 4 will
both complete research papers, where as WS 2-4 all complete research papers.
