Honors Courses


Honors courses should be designed for students who have demonstrated an advanced level of interest and achievement in a given subject area. The rationale for honors courses is not to provide a means to attract students to enroll in classes for 
additional credit, but rather to offer challenging, higher-level courses for students who aspire to an advanced level of learning. 
Furthermore, students and parents should be informed that honors courses are more demanding and have requirements 
beyond those of standard courses. Honors courses should be an integral component of a program of study that provides an array of opportunities for all students based on their aptitudes, affinities, and interests.

Credit by Demonstrated Mastery

During the 2013-2014 school year, Onslow County Schools as well as districts across North Carolina will develop procedures and policies to effectively implement Credit by Demonstrated Mastery (CDM).  Through Credit by Demonstrated Mastery, a student may receive course credit (but not grade) by showing significant mastery over course content.
