Students may choose up to three courses per semester from the Electives schedule. Students are encouraged, but not required, to take three courses per semester.
Courses are offered from 1-4 p.m. on Thursday.
There are no study halls offered at Electives, but students are typically invited to eat lunch and fellowship with other Electives students from 12-1 p.m. each Thursday. Students may not be on campus while classes are in session unless they are registered for a class during that time.
BU Electives first hour classes begin at 1:00. The remaining classes begin at 2:00 and 3:00.
Although each teacher sets his/her own objectives for the class, the expectation for out-of-class work is not significant.
Elective classes meet for two 16-week semesters.
High school credit may be assigned to each course taken, but the amount of credit earned for each class is up to the discretion of the parent.
Grades are not given for electives courses.
The BU Performing Arts Company has its own leadership, but is associated with The Electives Program and follows the rules and expectations of BU Electives.
