    Middle School

    Paisley is unique in offering many accelerated classes to students regardless of whether or not they are certified AG or HAG. Paisley looks at students holistically and believes that students without these designations can thrive in accelerated courses. When assigning classes, Paisley we will look at students' historical performance in classes and on tests as well as teacher recommendations.

    By the end of Year III (8th grade), students have the opportunity to earn up to 4 high school credits in the following classes:

    • Math 1
    • Math 2
    • Earth and Environmental Science
    • Foreign Language 1

    High School

    Students in Years IV and V (9th and 10th grades) take all core classes as the Honors level, boosting the weighted GPAs in these classes by .5 points.
