A Message to Students Looking for Courses


Below in the listing of courses offered by our school, you will see a column called "CBE #". This refers to the "Competency-Based Education Course Outlines" and lists the course number. If you click on the course number it will open a copy of the course outline for your information. The course outlines are pdf files and you will need an Adobe pdf reader to view them. The Adobe reader is free to download and you can get it by clicking on the following link:

The competency-based course outlines are for use by students, teachers, counselors and school
administrators, advisory committees, and all others having interest in the courses.

Before enrolling, students can read the course competencies listed to help them decide whether or not the course will meet their needs. After enrolling, a copy of the competencies can help a student track his/her progress through the course.
