There, our faculty have already recommended courses for next year. The faculty have made their recommendations based on performance and skill development to date in their current classes.

Middle School

Click here for step by step instructions. Parents should select the Request or "+" button to confirm these recommendations. Rising Grade 8 parents may choose from the Performing Arts elective offerings that are available. Please do this together as a family. Please contact Ben Magdison if you have questions. 

Upper School

Students and parents may turn recommendations into requests and may choose elective offerings that are available according to the student's grade level and prerequisite courses. Please do this together as a family.

Start with the Course Request Guide, organized by grade level, which combines general academic advising (including how many courses to request), requirements, course sequencing, technical instructions, important procedural notes, and links to summaries of all the elective courses available. For your convenience, the same guide is also embedded atop the Course Requests page in MyKing.   

Summer Institute
As you plan, keep in mind our Summer Institute, where students may take courses for enrichment, to fulfill graduation requirements, or to accelerate their program of study in Visual Arts or Mathematics. (Incidentally, if you are planning to use the Summer Institute to advance in Mathematics, please contact Ted Parker; MyKing will not allow you to request a course for next year if you're not already enrolled this semester in the prerequisite).

Use Your Team!
Your advisor, your teachers, your Grade Dean (especially for students in Grade 8), the College Counseling Department (especially for students in Grades 9-11), and I are all available to assist with course requests. As Ms. Sadlowsky says, "Do not worry [or wonder] alone!"
