Mt. Sophia Ideas

You know we always like to keep the colleges happy. One question college admission officers like to see answered is:

“Is the work you did in ____ course at a college prep level or above?”

So let me explain how to know how Mt. Sophia’s course levels work:

Level 1- Remedial Level

This is material that covers requirements for a high school course but at a remedial level. This is a useful credit for students who have learning disabilities or distinct struggles in a certain subject area.

Level 2- General High School Level

This is material that covers the necessary requirements for a high school course at a pace and depth that most high schoolers can handle. It covers what must be covered for the credit without college-level work.

Level 3- College Preparatory Level

This is material that covers the necessary requirements for a high school course at a pace and depth that will prepare a high schooler for college. More academic work and projects are required than Level 2 and at a greater depth.

Level 4- Advanced Level

At Mt Sophia, this is material that covers the necessary requirements for a Level 3 high school course plus 50% more academic work and projects.

Level 5- Honors Level

At Mt Sophia, this is material that covers fully double the necessary requirements of a Level 3 high school course. This can be accomplished through an honors-level class, approved home-study course or an AP-approved course.

Your academic advisor can help you decide what level is best for your student in each subject. Each student is unique and it is our job to help each one maximize his/her abilities (and create a culture for Christ).
