We offer all courses required for regular graduation. Our programs include Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, Writing, Fine Arts, PE, etc. We also offer an extremely popular sequence of proprietary leadership courses.

Students attend the same live class sessions, but students in Honors courses have roughly 30% more and/or more difficult readings and assignments in Canvas than students in Classic courses, taking them deeper into the subject.

High School Forms/ChecklistsTestingSAT
MSBSD is offering the PSAT and SAT to the 8th-12th graders. Twindly will be offering one opportunity for each testing window for our students. The district will cover the cost of one SAT-suite test per academic year (not taken from allotment).
College Board created the Preliminary SAT (PSAT) and the SAT (Student’s Academic Skills) as an entrance exam that is accepted by most colleges and universities to use in their admissions decisions. The PSAT has been expanded to offer different tests for different grade levels that offers real practice before the SAT. Please note, students may participate in nationwide PSAT and SAT test dates outside of the grade-bands offered by the district (Check out their dates and deadlines here). This cost is not covered by the school district. SAT School Day
The SAT School Day is available for seniors only. The SAT “School Day” provides equal access to students so they may test at their own school on a weekday. This is an entrance exam that colleges and universities use to make admissions decisions. The SAT is administered via paper-and-pencil and it is a multiple-choice test. The SAT is designed to determine a student’s readiness for college. Colleges use this as one piece of information to make a decision regarding admissions, offer scholarships and grants, and to consider placement into special college programming. Your student's information and scores are not shared with any colleges or outside agencies. The information is only shared with the student, the school, and the school district.

This allows juniors to compete for recognition and college scholarships- if you score high enough to qualify, there are $180 million dollars in merit scholarships awarded to students each year.

The PSAT10 is geared for 10th graders. In terms of content and difficulty, this test is the same as the PSAT/NMSQT. What makes it different is that it is held during the Spring of 10th grade and it does not qualify students for the National Merit Scholarship Program. Alternatively, students may opt into College Board’s Student Search service where they can be connected to a different range of over $255 million in scholarships and colleges/universities can send you programming information related to applications, financial aid, and student life.

Register HERE Disability Accommodations: Your child can access accommodations on this test without official College Board approval. College Board PSAT 8/9 website PSAT 8/9 Practice Tests PSAT 8/9 Student Guide DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS
Accommodations are available for College Board tests. For the PSAT10, PSAT/NMSQT, and the SAT, you must get pre-approval for all accommodations requested. These typically must be submitted at least two months in advance of the testing date. Once you have been approved for accommodations on one College Board test, you do not need to request pre-approval for another College Board test. For this reason, we recommend applying for accommodations during your freshman year to ensure they are in place later on. For the PSAT 8/9, accommodations can be provided without prior approval. Please work with your advisor to ensure your needs are met. Visit the College Board website for more information Contact Kara Byrley, the SSD Coordinator ACT
The ACT (American College Testing) is a paper-pencil and multiple-choice standardized test that colleges and universities use for admissions decisions. Achieving high scores on the ACT grants access to scholarships, grants, and special honors recognition for colleges. The ACT is recommended for students in 11th and 12th grade. Students with disabilities may request accommodations through ACT. (Click here for more information on access) Please reach out to your 504 or IEP case manager for assistance with this.
