6152.31 (R)Independent Study Program

An Independent Study Program is available to students at the high school level in grades ten through twelve. Independent study provides students with an opportunity to carry out a program of study in a field of interest not readily available in the regular curriculum. A student desiring to pursue such a program has the responsibility to initiate application for independent study, to organize and complete a project proposal, and to select a faculty sponsor. Application and project proposal forms are available from guidance counselors.

Independent study units earned may be counted toward graduation requirements. Student evaluation will be determined by the independent study sponsor, but a final student report will be submitted to the Independent Study Committee and only then will credit be awarded. A student may earn a maximum of one unit of credit.
