Independent Study

Students in Grades 11-12 may pursue a program of independent reading or research. Independent Study credit is not given for any courses that are offered in the regular academic day, nor is Independent Study an alternative to fulfilling specific graduation requirements. This course is intended for students who wish to study a topic at an advanced level beyond current High School course offerings. Independent Study is not normally approved for the purpose of eliminating scheduling conflicts. All students must complete a proposal and submit it to the Associate Principal for Academics for final approval.

To earn 1/2 credit, 60 clock hours of time are needed.  All students will need an HKIS teacher mentor throughout the study.
