Can 8th graders take individual HS courses for credit?

We do allow 8th graders to take and receive credit for certain high school courses. Any grades earned would contribute to their high school GPA with Seton. Any high school course would incur a high school fee, due to the increase in services provided, and the cost of materials. For math or language courses, there is usually an extra textbook or software license fee.

Please note that some HS courses have prerequisites or are usually designated for certain grade levels. Typically, courses allowed for 8th graders include Algebra I, Keyboarding (typing), World Geography, Physical Science, Earth Science, Fundamentals of Grammar (half-credit), and any foreign language course such as Spanish I or French I.
