Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Independent Study exists in order to allow schools to provide students with enrichment experiences outside the curriculum. Typically, the number of students involved will be limited. Also, the Independent Study contract form (which requires the teacher/sponsor to have met with each student on Independent Study at least four (4) times per semester outside of the regular school day) must be used for all Independent Study (sometimes known as tutorial or seminar) in the high schools. Up to two (2) units credit of Independent Study may be taken toward the 22 units required for graduation.
