2023 High School Intensive Summer Math and Health
Registration is open for Summer 2023. Please click on either Math or Health below for Registration button. Thank you.
Program Description
Intensive Summer Version (ISV) courses are designed for Beaverton School District high school students who seek advancement in a course sequence that a standard 4-year high school schedule will not allow. These courses provide the same content coverage and rigor as their classroom counterparts but in a highly accelerated format. The goal is for students to gain the skills, knowledge, and experience needed for success in the next course in the sequence.
These courses use a combination of FLEX online curriculum and assessment and teacher curated materials. Due to their compressed nature, students are required to complete a significant portion of coursework independently. Discipline and excellent time management are required.
These courses are not available for credit-recovery or to enable early release or late arrival. Data from past years suggests that students taking these courses are less prepared for the next course in the sequence than those who take a year-long version. We highly recommend students take the course during the year.

Credits and Grading
-
ISV Math courses have the potential for 1.0 credit (full year). ISV Health courses have the potential for .5 credit. Marks earned will be placed on the student’s permanent transcript at the student's discretion.
-
Courses are graded A - C. No marks lower than C will be transcripted or earn credit. No credit will be earned for courses not placed on transcripts. Incompletes are not awarded in summer.
Forecasting
-
After successful completion, student informs their high school counselor so Fall class schedule can be revised
-
Completion of an ISV Summer course does not guarantee placement into the next course in the Fall
