The sample schedules below are intended to guide parents and students as they navigate high school graduation requirements. A student’s specific schedule may look different than the samples listed below.
Sample Schedule for Advanced Studies Diploma — 26 standard units of credit required

** Students who enter the 9th grade for the first time in the 2018–19 school year and beyond must meet the sequential elective requirement during their high school career.

A student’s elective choice may be a Fine Arts, CTE, or other elective course that meets a student’s individual needs. Students in need of additional academic support may take an elective course that is prescribed in their Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) or English Language Service Delivery Plan (SDP).
All PWCS high schools operate under a standard seven-period A/B schedule. Some schools modify the school schedule to embed flexible instructional time into the day.
In 9th and 10th grade students are encouraged to select elective courses that allow them to explore interests which match their intended post-secondary plan. Electives may also include an additional course in a core subject area.
In 11th and 12th grade students are encouraged to focus on elective courses which may lead to work readiness and/or a college major choice. Students pursuing the Standard Diploma must take sequential electives which broaden a student’s skill set in a specific area.
Sequential Electives
Any two credits, from the subject areas listed below, taken in sequence, that allow students to build upon and increase their knowledge of the academic subject will meet the sequential elective graduation requirement.
