FOUR-YEAR PLANNING PROCESS
The four-year plan outlines the courses students take during their upper school years. It starts with choosing freshman courses and is adjusted annually with input from the school's academic support team. This personalized approach ensures students' educational path aligns with their needs, interests, and aspirations.
The four-year plan needs to encompass all the necessary graduation criteria. It should be a comprehensive and appropriately demanding schedule that blends essential academic subjects with optional courses, considering the student's aspirations beyond high school and their interests. The plan should strike a balance, offering a manageable workload that permits students to engage in extracurricular and co-curricular activities.
North Shore's Four-Year Plan Worksheet is a tool for crafting a student's four-year plan. The school's academic support team guides each student through this process and assists with any necessary adjustments. It's important to remember that a student's four-year plan will evolve alongside their changing needs and interests throughout their upper school experience.
