BENEFITS OF FOUNDATION + ENDORSEMENTS AND DISTINGUISHED LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT vs. FOUNDATION PLAN
The Foundation High School Plan prepares a student for a junior college, but it is not designed to prepare a student for the 4 year university. It is your responsibility to contact the college or university that you plan to attend regarding that specific school’s admission requirements.
1204/19/23
BENEFITS OF FOUNDATION + ENDORSEMENTS AND DISTINGUISHED LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT vs. FOUNDATION
Many four year university admissions requirements include 4 years of math, with Algebra 2 or higher mathematics coursework.
Completing one or more endorsement(s) allows a student the opportunity to acquire a deeper level of understanding within a specific area. This may be more beneficial for college and career readiness than a random selection of electives.
1304/19/23
BENEFITS OF FOUNDATION + ENDORSEMENTS AND DISTINGUISHED LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT vs. FOUNDATION PLAN
Regardless of class rank, only students on the Distinguished Level of Achievement are eligible for Top 10% Automatic Admission consideration.
1404/19/23
Foundation Only
In most cases, the Foundation Plan without endorsements will not meet the core requirements for 4 year universities.
1504/19/23
CHANGE OF GRADUATION PLANS
