Marlboro students in Grades 9-11 attended the High School’s first Arena Scheduling Day on January 30. During their English classes, the Dukes visited the Library Media Center, where they had the opportunity to speak one-on-one with experienced faculty members to learn about the school’s existing courses and electives, as well as some exciting new offerings that are being proposed for next year. Armed with this information, the students will meet with their school counselors in the coming weeks to discuss any lingering questions as they begin to build their schedules for next year.
Arena scheduling is a university-style approach that has been growing in popularity among secondary schools. This personalized process is designed to put students at the center of building their own schedules and determining which course options they need to take to fulfil their graduation requirements. Arena scheduling not only creates a simpler and more streamlined process for school counselors, it also teaches students valuable lessons in time management and responsibility.
We’re proud of these Dukes for being in the driver’s seat on the path toward their futures!
