Independent Study (.5 elective credit per semester)
Students interested in an independent study course need to coordinate an agreement with an independent study advisor. Together, the student and advisor will collaborate on the Independent Study framework. Students may pick up an Independent Study request sheet from the counseling office. Students are encouraged to complete all other elective offerings before pursuing an independent study course. Students are only allowed one independent study per semester.

Students may take an online course for their independent study.  Online options through Falcon Online Academy, Brigham Young University, Catholic Virtual and other online providers may be used.  Costs for online courses may vary.

Teacher Aid & Tutoring Options (.5 elective credit)
Senior students in good standing and with a genuine interest in helping with the education process are encouraged to explore the option of being a Teacher’s Aid or Tutor. Students may only TA for a course they have already taken, and are only allowed one TA course per semester. TA opportunities are at the discretion of the teacher in conjunction with the school counselor. TA courses are graded P/F. A TA opportunity does not count for the purposes of meeting the minimum number of classes required each semester to be eligible for a BA diploma.
