voyager courses: for students entering grades 6 + 7 Every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, Voyager students attend two courses in the afternoon. 700 level courses meet in the afternoon from 1:00-2:15pm. 800 level courses meet in the afternoon from 2:30-3:45pm. There is a 15-minute snack break between afternoon classes. On the application, Voyager students select and rank their top 6 preferences for both 700 and 800 level courses. Course size, in most cases, is limited to 14 students. Our registrars attempt to give all students their first choice for courses. However, in the event that a course is filled, students will be assigned the next choice, in the order of interest, on their list of course preferences. 2008 voyager course listings The following courses are for the summer of 2008.
