Classes are listed by department. All information published in this catalog is subject to change. A minimum enrollment of 10 students is usually required before a course can be considered a permanent part of the curriculum for the next school year. Students are reminded of the complex nature of a master schedule and the difficulties associated with changing courses after the master schedule has been constructed. A considerable amount of reflection and study should precede each student’s selection of classes.  \nUnless there is an irresolvable conflict in the choice of courses, which only occur in a very small percentage of situations, classes chosen by students at the time of pre-registration (primary or alternate choices) will become their official schedule for the upcoming year. Maryvale will run a drop/add period at the start of each semester as outlined in the Student and Parent Handbook.  \nIn accordance with our philosophy, the following objectives are set forth for the academic program at Maryvale:  \n● Encourages integrity, resourcefulness and responsibility to foster personal growth;  \n● Maintains its small class size to enable students to learn and develop skills in a cooperative environment;  \n● Emphasizes pride, loyalty & friendship in an atmosphere ofmutual respect among students, peers, faculty and administration following the Maryvale Way-respect, dignity, and inclusivity;  \n● Challenges students with the excitement of learning and instills pride in academic success; and  \n● Provides individual academic guidance.  \nThe academic program aims to prepare students for further education. It is necessary to be aware of course content and graduation requirements before students choose their courses. After reading this booklet in its entirety, each student should:  \n● Review with her academic advisor the credits that she has previously earned to ensure graduation requirements are met;  \n● Give careful thought to her educational interests and goals in choosing courses, with the understanding that Maryvale s’ administration will take her choices seriously;  \n● Take elective courses that will be both interesting and challenging, but also mee","cbCais2GPK2KZ5Nt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais2GPK2KZ5Nt","pdf",1077333,37,"English","# Overview\n## Graduation Requirements\n## Honors and AP Information\n# Academic Department Course Offerings\n## Computer Science & Engineering\n## English\n## Leadership\n## Mathematics\n## Performing Arts\n## Physical Education\n## Science\n## Social Studies\n## Theology\n## Visual Arts\n## World Languages\n# Courses Offered Through Online Platforms\n# Dual Enrollment Program Courses","[{\"question\":\"How does Maryvale use pre-registration choices for next year’s schedule?\",\"answer\":\"Classes chosen during pre-registration (primary or alternate choices) become the official schedule for the upcoming year, unless an irresolvable conflict exists.
