First General Principle for Choosing Courses for Gr. 9 Success Challenge

Second General Principle for Choosing Courses for Gr. 9 Every student is unique; your selections don’t have to be the same as others!

Third General Principle for Choosing Courses for Gr. 9 a. You have spent years watching your student struggle, watching them succeed—that results in wisdom ! Discuss this schedule with them, check with their current teachers, pray with them, and trust your wisdom as a starting point! b. Enter your schedule on the website with your best choices by the due date – you can always make some “tweaks” later on.
