Honors Course Overview

The SWISD Honors program supports the belief that all students can perform well at rigorous academic levels and should be challenged to expand their knowledge and skills to the next level. Beginning at middle school, students should have multiple opportunities to acquire the knowledge, concepts, and skills needed to engage in a higher level of learning. Taking Honors courses helps students explore their academic strengths while actively learning at the depth and breadth of knowledge that will equip them for success in advanced coursework in high school and beyond.
