• The wide variety of students' interests, motivations and responses to education makes it clear that no single approach to learning is best for all students. Learning takes place in a variety of ways, under a variety of circumstances; it is a highly individualized process. If we are to approach our goal of providing a school which is responsive to the needs and learning styles of all students, we must make available a practical variety of education alternatives. Independent Study, Senior Option, and College Option are programs designed to afford a student the opportunity to pursue areas of study which are beyond the scope of curricular offerings.
