Credit Flexibility
Credit flexibility options are designed for students who demonstrate the ability, interest, and maturity to accept personal responsibility for their learning in a selected curricular area and have the opportunity to pursue it outside of BGHS with a Board of Education-approved program. The credit flexibility option was created to develop learners who design their own research and learning objectives in a formal plan.
