You have some important decisions to make for next year's schedule. This worksheet is meant to help you make informed ones. To begin, review the recap of sophomore year course requirements from the Signature School Program of Studies, pages 6-7:
The Program of Studies is also available on the Class of 2029 Schoology page and on the school's website.
Next, you'll begin selecting courses.

Course Requests
There are 8 periods in the regular school day. You are already pre-enrolled in AP Seminar, and you must take:
- AP English Language and Composition
- AP World History: Modern
- Honors Chemistry
- World Language (The next level)
- Mathematics (The next level)
For your 7th slot, we strongly encourage sophomores to enroll in AP U.S. Government and either AP Microeconomics or AP Macroeconomics. Taking these courses now creates more flexibility in your junior and senior year schedules for other electives. If you choose not to take these courses this year, please select the "Opt Out" option below.

For your 8th slot, assuming you successfully completed your current coursework and take the recommended AP Gov/Econ, you may choose one of the following to round out your schedule:
- Option A: One year-long elective.
- Option B: Two semester-long electives.
Important Notes on Scheduling
- Extended Day Courses: Certain electives, such as Instrumental Music and Musical Theater, occur outside the regular 8-period school day.

You are only eligible for the online option if you have filled all 8 school-day slots with other courses (this does not include Silent Study).

Please note that AP Computer Science A is not an option for sophomores and must be taken in a later year.

Repeated Courses

If you have to repeat a course because you earned a D or F in a class required for the Indiana Diploma: Enrollment with Honors Plus Seal (see p. 4 of the Program of Studies), we will re-enroll you in that course as soon as space allows, next year if possible. In this case, we will not be able to honor the requests you indicate above.

In keeping with our weighted grade policy, when you repeat a class, your GPA is figured based on the higher final grade earned. However, if you repeat only the fall or spring semester of an AP or IB class and do not take the AP or IB exam, you will not receive a weighted grade for class.

Please answer the question below.
What classes, if any, will you have to repeat next year to stay on track for the Indiana Diploma: Enrollment with Honors Plus Seal? If the course is a year-long course, specify which semester you must repeat, fall, spring, or both.

Silent Study Requests, Additional Courses, and Comments
Silent Study Requests

You may elect to take a Silent Study for fall, spring, or both semesters. When making this decision, consider these items:
- You will not earn a credit towards your diploma and so may not have room in your schedule to take a Silent Study during your junior or senior year.
- You will lose an opportunity for academic exploration ahead of the junior-year AP Research project.
- Silent Study is meant for students able to work independently and silently on academic requirements. Silent Study students must check in with their supervising teachers at the start of each period for attendance. We will find alternative course placement for students who register for Silent Study but who prove unable to meet behavioral expectations.
If you wish to take a Silent Study, choose Fall Semester, Spring Semester, or both below. We will then have you type your name to indicate that you understand the expecations of Silent Study students.
