Course Description
XWG0020 EXPLORATORY WHEEL, GRADE 8 (YEAR)
Exploratory wheel courses help students to define current living and learning needs, as well as future school and life decisions. An elective course scheduled during one period of the school day, groups of students cycle through a series of “mini-courses” over the period of a year. The “wheel” is intended to allow students to explore various high interest topics in separate subject areas—such as World Cultures (PHS), Sewing, Culinary, etc. The exploratory wheel provides variety and a range of courses in various disciplines, and helps to ease students’ transition into high school by introducing them to areas they may later want to explore more in depth.
