Be sure to read the information on the HIGH SCHOOL STUDIES page before beginning your course of study.
Junior YearSupplies needed:
You will need loose-leaf notebook paper, dividers, and binders to make your study journals, along with pens and pencils for writing. Ideally, you will also have printer paper and ink for the literature study guides and math practice worksheets, but you can read the materials online and write your answers on notebook paper if necessary. You may find the literature novels at your local library or purchase them online. If you have not already, you will need to create a free student account with Saylor. You will also need a free account with Carnegie-Mellon University for your chemistry and French courses, if you do not have one. |
