CURRICULUM
Radnor’s Scheduling System
Radnor uses a modified block scheduling approach encompassing eight 40-minute classes three times a week and four 80 minute classes two times a week. All students are required to take a minimum 6.5 credits a year.
The Mathematics Department has revised their program and has instituted new names for the levels of instruction beginning in the 2010-2011 school year. The following changes were made and will appear on student transcripts for the 2010-2011 school year and beyond:
a.) “Honors” will be designated “Seminar Honors” and will receive weighted grades.
b.) “Advanced” will be designated “Honors” and will receive weighted grades.
c.) “College Preparatory” will be designated “Advanced” and grades will remain un-weighted.
d.) “Topics” designation will be removed from the “Academic” level and grades will remain un-weighted.
Since the 2007-2008 school year, gradual changes in curriculum and expectations have been increased to prepare for these name changes.
