Four-Year Plan
10th Grade
What should students do in 10th grade?
Students need to focus on academic engagement: participation in class, academic exploration outside of class, articulating personal interests, and researching how to pursue them further. Tenth graders should look carefully at Maumee Valley’s Intensives as a useful avenue for satisfying academic requirements in a creative manner and pursuing personal interests outside of school.

Will I be taking standardized tests as a 10th grader?
Students will take the PSAT for the first time in October of their sophomore year. This testing scenario is practice. (These scores are NOT sent to college nor do they count toward National Merit recognition.) Students and parents can examine results of this test as an indicator for future performance on standardized tests and, in discussions with the college counselor, can decide if any additional test preparation would enhance performance.

What should parents do when their child is in 10th grade?
Parents need to research and schedule vacation trips that allow students to see a range of schools: state schools, research institutions, small, liberal arts schools, faith-based schools, rural schools, and urban schools.

What should be my goals in 10th grade?
Students should make choices about Intensives and activities, focusing on those that will allow them to grow as students and individuals. They should commit to activities, learn from the actions and contributions of older students, and put that learning into practice.

What should I do during the summer following 10th grade?
Students should do something that challenges them intellectually: take a class, attend a college program, or engage in a language immersion. They should follow up on any volunteer projects they might have done the summer prior.
