ACCELERATION

5532

The staff shall see that individual learners are encouraged to move ahead as rapidly as they wish and can. This can be done by individualizing the materials and goals of the student's program. While acceleration ahead of grade should be approached with caution, gifted or capable students may be so advanced after thorough dis­cussion by the professional staff and approval of the parents and the principal. Advancing or placing out of a particular course in a senior high school does not award a credit toward high school graduation. Credits for high school graduation are based on approved instructional experiences, group or individual, in grades 9 through 12 or through approved experiences at off-campus institutions.
