Course Selection
Please take the time to thoroughly review the Curriculum Guide. Choosing classes is an important activity that should not be taken lightly. Take into consideration teacher and counselor recommendations, past performance, and future goals. Parents and students are encouraged to make careful decisions when selecting courses, as schedule changes are done on a very limited basis once school begins.
Current Trinity Catholic High School Students: Course selection for the following school year begins in the spring when school counselors review the Curriculum Guide and the course selection process with current freshmen, sophomores and juniors. Students are asked to complete their course selections after attending the TCHS family meeting. This will allow the students to submit preferred courses for the upcoming school year for Guidance Department and teacher approval. Teachers make recommendations for the next school year once students have submitted their course requests. The school counselors will verify that students have met all course prerequisites and will make any necessary adjustments in any case where it is necessary. All course selections and elective changes for both semesters of the following year are finalized by the spring. It is imperative that students be fully prepared to attend the one-on-one course selection meeting with their counselor. Students must have researched options and college admission requirements, identified personal interests, and completed their course selections form.
Incoming Trinity Catholic High School Students: An informative meeting will be held each spring where students and family meet with members of the administration team to plan their schedule.
Florida Virtual or Non-Trinity Catholic Course Work: Students may not take courses for academic advancement (including summer school courses) outside of the Trinity Catholic High School program. Only in certain pre-approved circumstances are students permitted to enroll in a Virtual School course. Approval from Guidance prior to enrollment is required. Trinity Catholic does not guarantee a designated class period for virtual courses. No coursework completed under a tutor will be accepted for credit. Courses taken in middle school will receive Trinity Catholic High School credit but they will not be included in the students’ GPA. Florida private school students must provide proof of residency within the first 30 days of enrollment. Students receiving state funded scholarships will be responsible for the cost of FLVS courses. The current cost for a FLVS course is $375 per .5 credit hour.
