TIPS & TERMS BEFORE CHOOSING YOUR COURSES

Prerequisite

A required prior condition before the course can be taken. Courses with prerequisites will have them listed next to "pre-req."

Weighted GPA

Honors, AP and IB courses take into account the heavy coursework, resulting in higher GPA scale than traditional GPA. 

Course Levels

Many of our art courses are listed as Level I, II, III, or IV courses. Higher level courses require that you must complete the prior levels before attempting those courses.

Plan Your Backup Courses

Courses are not always guaranteed; sometimes they fill up before we can get you in! Make sure you find a few courses of interest to request.

Know the Course Add/Drop Deadlines

Keep an eye out on your Infinite Campus and email notifications; we will keep you informed as to the last days you can add or drop a course.

Go for Gold!

Colleges want to see that you are committed to your academics for all four years; if you are planning to attend college, plan your choice courses accordingly.

Scheduling

Students will be expected to carry a full schedule for the entirety of the time they are with us. We are committed to making sure the students are prepared for leadership and service as a citizen in a global society. For the mission of Fort Hayes (to create expectations of excellence within students through challenging and collaborative learning by bending the arts, academic and career programs) to be fully realized, we as a school along with our families, must collaborate to position or students in a way that they are competitive and well educated when they graduate high school.

To ensure that students are enrolled in the appropriate classes for graduation and scheduled in a 10-period configuration, there are several principles that will guide this task:
  • Graduation Requirements (not optional)
  • Class Size Balance (not optional)
  • 4 Core Subjects (not optional)
  • 1 Non-Instructional Period (Student Mentoring)
  • Multiple Arts Integration Classes (not optional)
  • Full Schedule for 4 years (no early leave and no late arrival)
  • Teacher Recommendations
  • Student Requests

When a student/family chooses Fort Hayes, these are the requirements for attending our school. We believe in rich and vibrant emergence in the Arts and have built our scheduled based on a 10-period extended day.
