Purpose:
To maintain the integrity of our curriculum and ensure that students benefit fully from the educational experience provided by Bishop Montgomery High School, this policy establishes guidelines regarding the enrollment in summer courses.

Policy Statement:
Students enrolled at Bishop Montgomery High School may not take summer courses through another school or provider if those summer courses are offered by Bishop Montgomery High School. All summer courses provided by Bishop Montgomery are designed to align with our academic standards, Catholic values, and the unique educational objectives of our institution.

Guidelines:

Eligibility: Students must enroll in Bishop Montgomery’s summer courses if the desired course is available through our summer program.
Prohibited External Enrollment: Students are not permitted to enroll in equivalent courses at other schools, online platforms, or external providers if those courses are offered as part of Bishop Montgomery High School’s summer curriculum.
Approval for External Courses: In exceptional cases where a course is not offered by Bishop Montgomery, students may seek approval from the administration to enroll in an external course. Students must submit the Bishop Montgomery High School Outside School Request form, in advance, and receive approval from an academic counselor.
Non-Compliance: Courses taken in violation of this policy will not be recognized for credit towards graduation requirements at Bishop Montgomery High School.

Implementation:
This policy is effective immediately and applies to all current and future students of Bishop Montgomery High School. The administration will review and communicate the summer course offerings annually to ensure clarity and alignment with this policy.
