The JYMS Honors Program is designed to offer academic challenges beyond those required by the Indiana Academic Standards to highly capable seventh and eighth grade students. These courses will ask students to learn and understand the grade level standards, as well as use their reading, writing, and speaking skills to demonstrate a higher level of goal attainment. If accepted into any honors class, you are accepting these responsibilities and the expectations.

Click the Honors Program icon below to fill out the application. Completing this application does not guarantee acceptance or enrollment. The JYMS Honors Program Identification Committee will review the application and additional assessments to determine if your student is accepted in the program.
