Independent Studies

This is only a summary of the independent study policy and other restrictions and considerations may apply. For full details, please see your school counselor.

Middle School

• Eastside Catholic Middle School students may not take an independent study.

High School

• Eastside Catholic can offer independent studies to advanced high school students on a case-by-case basis.
   
• Independent studies are generally considered for students who have completed all available coursework at EC and wish to pursue advanced study with the support of an advisor.
   
• Advisors have content area expertise and meet with students one day per week. Advisors do not act as “instructors” of a class but are meant to advise, answer questions and support students as they learn independently.
   
• An independent study is built into the student’s schedule and may be designed as a letter grade or pass/fail class.
   
• Students interested in independent study should contact their school counselor for more information.
   
• Independent studies have an additional cost for families and are contingent upon the availability of a suitable advisor.
