Middle School Advanced Learning Program
The Middle School Advanced Learning courses service all three middle school buildings in Lakeville Area Schools. Honors courses help to meet the needs of advanced learners in core content areas by enriching and extending the curriculum. Eligibility for advanced courses are determined yearly. Listed below are the honors courses available to middle school students.
As students leave middle school, the number and availability of advanced learning courses will increase. Incoming 9th graders might consider these advanced learning courses and guidelines to help them decide which and how many advanced learning courses fit into their 9th grade schedule.
