At Northfield High School, we believe that effort and excellence should be recognized and celebrated. Honors designations can be achieved in all core academic classes. Our approach to honors designation for academic excellence in coursework embodies this principle. Students receive honors designations based on the level of challenge they take on and the level of mastery they achieve in each class. Honors is based not on placement, but on effort and accomplishment.
Every student has access and the opportunity to pursue the International Baccalaureate® Diploma. All 11th and 12th grade core academic courses are IB. All 9th and 10th grade courses align to the IB curriculum pathways. This forms a rigorous college preparatory curriculum with a strong correlation to college success.
Technology is embedded in all courses to support differentiation and academic interventions.
Working in teams, teachers create interdisciplinary units and projects in all courses. This creates a unified learning experience for students and demonstrates the interconnectedness of knowledge.
End-of-unit and in-class assessments, projects, and exams require students to apply higher-order thinking and communication skills. These assessments demand creativity and application of knowledge in a variety of outcomes. Learn more information about P/SAT and NMSQT testing at Northfield. En Espanol aqui.
