Course Selection Tips & Guidelines
- To be considered full-time, middle school students must enroll in at least 4 courses (2 of them being core). They may take up to 6 classes per semester.
- We offer live-online, self-paced, independent studies, and in-person Adventures courses. Independent Studies courses must be approved by our registrar to ensure state requirements are met.
- Most middle school core courses are offered exclusively in our live-online format. Math 6, 7, and 8, as well as some Electives, are available in the “self-paced” format. When possible, we recommend taking live-online courses over self-paced courses for the best academic experience and results. Self-paced courses should be selected only when needed.
- Most live online classes include an “A” semester offered in Fall, and a “B” semester offered in Winter. STEM 6/7 courses operate on a rotating two-year curriculum in which students complete A/B courses one year and C/D courses the next. We suggest registering for the fall and winter semesters simultaneously to ensure you get the best schedule for your child.
- Humanities courses are available in Classic and Honors versions. Students in both versions meet together in the same live class sessions but Honors students complete roughly 30% more work. Students have 28 calendar days from the first day of the semester to move from one version to another.
- If you have an advanced student in grade 8, you may get permission from our registrar to enroll your child in a high school math, writing, or foreign language course. Middle school students who take high school math or foreign language may receive high school credit pending approval.
- Course mentors and class times are subject to change, depending on enrollment numbers.
- You can view a complete list of middle school courses and course descriptions on the Williamsburg Learning website.
- If needed, you can adjust your child’s courses and schedule up to 28 days after the start of each semester.

Review Graduation Requirements
If your student plans to graduate from Williamsburg, please review our graduation requirements below. You can also use the Grad Planner feature in SIS to track your student’s progress toward graduation.
-
A Few Notes on Graduation Requirements
Because students come to Williamsburg from a variety of backgrounds and educational experiences including homeschool, private, charter, and public schools, we suggest working with our Academic Counselor to transfer credits (if applicable) and create an individualized pathway to graduation.
Each course listed below earns 0.5 credits toward graduation unless otherwise noted. In most cases, we recommend students take “A” versions of a course in the fall semester and “B” versions in winter. -
Language Arts/English – 4.0 Credits
Complete the following:
- Writing & Rhetoric A & B (LA 9)
- American Lit A & B (LA 10)

- HS Math 3 A & B, or Algebra 2*
- Pre-Calculus A & B (optional)
Students who complete pre-calculus (A & B courses) and another math class (both A & B courses) on this list only need 2 credits instead of 3. A student who has already completed Algebra 2 does not need to complete any other HS math courses.
Note: Pre-Algebra is equivalent to 7th Grade Math & Intro to HS Math, and is a non-credit course for high school.
*These courses are only offered in the self-paced format.

Science – 3.0 Credits
Complete 2.0 credits from the following foundational sciences:
- Earth Science A & B
- Biology A & B
- Chemistry A & B
- Physics A & B

Note: Many selective colleges want to see 1.0 credit each of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics on an applicant’s transcript.
-
Social Studies – 3.0 Credits
Complete the following:
- U.S. History A & B (fulfills state-required Genocide and Holocaust studies)

Excess credit in any subject area will be applied toward extra Electives credit. See the Electives Program on the Williamsburg Learning site for a full list of Elective courses offered. -
College & Career Readiness
In addition to earning the required credits, students must demonstrate College and Career Readiness by achieving minimum SAT scores (470 on reading, writing, and communication and 500 on math) or completing their Capstone Portfolio Project.

Registration FAQs
-
What Are Williamsburg’s Registration Policies?
Parents Register for Students
At Williamsburg, parents complete the registration process for their students through our Student Information Services (SIS) system. Students are not permitted to register themselves.
First-Come, First-Serve
We currently let students register on a first-come-first-served basis (as long as they have applied and been accepted). We do not have an official waiting list or queue. We have a limited number of seats in all our courses. We do not reserve seats for returning students, but we always notify current families when registration opens for a new semester.
Classics/Honors Window of Change Policy
Students have until the drop deadline, which is 28 calendar days from the first day of the semester, to switch between the Honors and Classic versions of a course. After the 28-day deadline, students may contact their mentor to request a transfer exception, which must be approved by the mentor’s Program Leader.
To ensure that students receiving credit for an Honors course have completed all required Honors-level work, students who are approved to transfer from a Classic course to an Honors course after the 28-day deadline will have to make up the work that has fallen due since the 28-day deadline.
-
Does Williamsburg Academy of Colorado Offer Summer Courses?
Williamsburg Academy of Colorado does not cover the cost of summer classes. Students needing to take summer courses to earn credits toward graduation should contact our Academic Counselor. Otherwise, students may take and pay for summer courses through our sister school, Williamsburg Academy Private School. Credits earned may be transferred and added to your student's transcript.
