Plan with guidance

2026–27 curriculum guide · reviewed edition

Start with Grade 9, then build the rest of your path. Each choice shows its prerequisites. Red items identify missing or invalid entries; amber notes explain placement, permission and workload.

The standard math and science sequence is prefilled as a starting point. Adjust math to your actual placement. PE, Immersives and community hours require your input. All totals represent planned study.

You can always continue. Missing items remain flagged when you move to another grade. Courses and prerequisites use the supplied 2026–27 guide as a planning reference for all four years; future offerings, grades, auditions and the final timetable require school confirmation.

Curriculum source notes & how credits are counted

Source: Branson Curriculum Guide 2026–27, supplied PDF dated 8.8.26. Course conditions show the printed page numbers. Requirements: pp. 5–6; workload and cross-listing: pp. 7–8; Arts: pp. 10–25; General Electives: pp. 36–37; Mathematics & Computer Science: pp. 60–71; Science: pp. 74–82.

Language discrepancy to confirm: The main graduation table on p. 5 says 9 units / three years of one language, including Level 3. Page 51 says 12 units while still describing three years. This planner follows p. 5 (9 units), checks at least six distinct semesters, and flags the discrepancy for the Language Department.

Course-name and entry-condition differences: Multivariable Calculus and Real Analysis refer to “Accelerated Calculus Honors,” while the current course list uses “Advanced Calculus.” Confirm equivalence with Mathematics. Environmental Design has different prerequisites for Arts credit (p. 22) and Science credit (p. 81); the selected department controls the guidance. The separately selectable fall Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus options follow the explicit semester provision on p. 67.

Counting: Yearlong courses earn 3 units and semester courses 1.5, unless the guide specifies otherwise. A cross-listed course earns credit in one department. Duplicate or overlapping selections within a semester count once. Housing has a maximum of 1.5 Arts + 1.5 History units (p. 23). Mathematics counts years with math in both semesters; Computer Science is additional to that requirement. PE and Immersives are tracked separately from the conservative 60-unit academic total. Repeated courses and approved placements need advisor confirmation.

Planning is not course registration: A listed approval route does not mean permission has been granted. Earlier choices are assumed successfully completed when checking later prerequisites. The planner cannot verify marks, placement assessments, auditions, approval decisions or timetable availability. Future courses are projections using the 2026–27 catalog.
