Welcome to the 2024-2025 Course Selection
Course Selection Instructions
The High School Course Selection, Middle School Course Description, and Middle School Cyber Guides serve as resources for information that will help guide students in planning and preparing for their educational experience within the West Chester Area School District.
These guides were designed to help students and parents – with help from guidance counselors, teachers, and administration – to select a program of study that best suits the student’s interests, aptitudes, abilities, needs, and educational and career goals. Questions concerning courses and placement should be directed to the student's guidance counselor.
