Students Go APE hether you are challenged by reading, history, foreign language, or math, our school provides classes to meet your needs. Each outstanding pro- gram is designed to challenge every student, in order to promote growth. ln addition, some of these programs are offered only at MBHS. Reading Lab is a class for students needing extra help in reading. Stanford Achievement Test scores are used to determine whether a student needs the Reading Lab. If so, students are placed in individualized programs and evaluated periodically. Although Reading Lab has been an elective class, beginning next year all incoming freshmen needing it will automatically be enrolled. In addition, a one semester reading class will be offered for students desiring to improve their reading and study skills. ln the foreign language department, as well as having beginning and intermediate levels of French, MBHS offers advanced levels French lV and V. This class, which is not offered at any other school in the county, enables students to read literature in French rather than in translation. In addition, French students are offered a trip to France. The Resource Room helps students with learning disabilities, such as visual perception, and hearing problems. Students in this class have normal or high l.Q.s, but because of a disability, reading and writing are difficult. ln the Resource Room, students are aided with their work in other classes on campus and are helped to minimize their handicap. The Advanced Placement English program is designed for those students who excel in English. Students in this class are affectionately called APES CAP English Studentsj. During the year, students read ten novels, several plays, and complete units in poetry and short stories, as they prepare to take the APE exam given by the college board in May. Passing the exam gives the students college credit while still in high school. These, along with other programs such as AP History and AP Calculus, show the ability to meet the needs of all students, on every level. Page 54. 1. AP Calculus is the most advanced math class offered. Justin Shong, Jason Kastner, and Holly Bunting enjoy the challenging, independent atmosphere of the smallest class on campus. Page 55. 1.
