Program of Studies
In planning a program of studies, students should consider the following: (1) requirements for graduation, (2) scholastic motivation and ability, (3) post high school educational and career plans, (4) special interests, (5) the nature and requirements of individual courses. COLLEGE PREPARATORY PROGRAM In addition to the high school graduation requirements, students who are planning a traditional college preparatory program are encouraged to complete another credit each in mathematics and science and at least two credits in a foreign language. We encourage students to choose additional course work that will assist them with studies in college and/or future career goals. 9TH GRADE HONORS CHALLENGES/HONORS PROGRAM At Bonny Eagle our goal is to encourage every student to strive for academic excellence. In the 9th grade, we offer honors challenges in English, Earth Science, and Global Village. All 9th grade students are invited to explore an honors challenge. They will be presented with differentiated assignments, which are designed to promote creativity, problem solving, and higher order thinking skills. Students in grades 10, 11, 12 are also encouraged to enroll in the more rigorous Honors courses for their core requirements. Please consult your current teacher for a better understanding of the material in an Honors level course. Teacher recommendations are encouraged, but not required. ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES Advanced Placement (AP) is a program (sponsored by the College Board) of college-level courses and exams for secondary school students. Over 90% of the colleges that most AP candidates will attend grant credit or advanced placement to students whose AP exam grades are considered acceptable. Bonny Eagle offers many AP courses. Some Honors courses, though not designated AP, follow a strong, challenging curriculum and prepare students to take the AP exam. More information is available on page 15. Fee waivers may be available for those who qualify. CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS (AKA VOC) Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are available to BEHS students through Portland Arts & Technology High School (PATHS) and Westbrook Regional Vocational Center (WRVC). These are mostly 2-year sequential programs, but there are also several semester-long and 1-year programs. Students have the option of attending WRVC or PATHS depending on the program they wish to pursue. Students should check with their school counselor to make sure they are taking the necessary courses for their post-secondary education and career goals. Students AND parents/guardians will sign a contract that outlines expectations for grades, attendance, and behavior. Enrolling in CTE programs counts as elective credit. More information is available on page 89.

EARLY COLLEGE ASPIRATIONS PROGRAM (ECAP) The ECAP is designed to give qualified high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to experience college-level classes, while they are still in high school. Many general education and technical courses are available to students through ECAP offered by Southern Maine Community College (SMCC), University of Southern Maine (USM), University of Maine @ Orono (UMaine), Saint Josephs College (SJC), Kaplan University, and York County Community College (YCCC). Students wishing to explore this option must meet with their school counselor well before the semester in which they wish to enroll. Please note that each community college or university will have its own criteria for eligibility. As of 2012-2013, ECAP courses ARE calculated in the student's BEHS GPA. Students completing a college course will earn one credit that will appear on the students transcript. More information is available on page 16. INDEPENDENT STUDY Students have the opportunity to pursue worthwhile educational and learning goals, not serviced or addressed through the regular academic program, through an independent study. An independent study is intended for enrichment purposes. Therefore, NO credit will be awarded. However, the course will be listed on a students transcript as PASS or FAIL. Students may NOT take an independent study as a course for co-curricular eligibility. Any exceptions to these criteria must be approved in writing by the principal. Please see your school counselor for detailed information and an application. GIFTED/TALENTED PROGRAM In addition to the regularly offered courses, advanced placement, honors, independent studies, and fourth year language courses provide the academic rigor, diverse opportunities, and independent challenges for the secondary student within the regular school setting. Local institutions of higher learning, such as University of Southern Maine and the Maine College of Art, provide outside programming options for secondary gifted and talented students when appropriate. MSAD #6 also participates in York County's Regional Fine Arts Program, which offers advanced and comprehensive training for identified students in five disciplines, led by professional teaching artists: Art: Oil Painting, Creative Writing, Dance; Music: Voice Training; Theatre: Acting. EARLY GRADUATION A small number of students are allowed the option of earning a diploma after 3 or 3 years of attendance at BEHS. Students who have earned 20 credits are eligible to apply for early graduation. Early graduation is not for everyone and needs the principals prior approval. Students should see their school counselor for an application if interested.

The purpose of Advisory is: To make a meaningful connection with each student To foster partnerships with small groups of students To oversee the Personal Learning Plan and foster 21st Century Learning Skills To provide students with opportunities to learn about self-efficacy, to take responsibility for their learning, and to become respectful school community members
During Advisory, students will explore several topics such as their future employment plans, postsecondary goals, current issues, goal setting, study skills, and other various topics. The largest part of Advisory is working on the Personal Learning Plan (PLP), which is designed to help students accomplish the mission of BEHS. All students in grades 9-12 will work on a PLP to target individual and common learning goals, which align with the Maine Learning Results. Each student will compile an online notebook of selected pieces of work and writing, each with a Reflection Sheet that aligns with the 21st Century Learning Skills. What are the goals of a PLP? To focus on 21st Century Learning Skills, content knowledge and expertise To build an understanding across and among core subjects as well as 21st Century interdisciplinary themes To emphasize a deep understanding rather than shallow knowledge To engage students with the real world data, tools, and experts they will encounter in college, on the job, and in life To allow for multiple measures of mastery When do students work on their PLP and where is their PLP kept? Students will have the opportunity to work on their PLPs during some Advisory periods. Out of class time may be necessary to complete the PLP. Students have the same Advisory teacher for their entire high school career. How and when is the PLP credit awarded? In order to receive credit for the PLP, the PLP checklist and the PLP presentation must be successfully completed. Student transcripts will reflect a grade of Pass or Fail. Each year a student passes the PLP, .25 credit will be added to the transcript.
