2018 School Wide Summer Reading :
Captain Shreve offers a wide variety of academic opportunities for students of every grade level. Electives, advanced placement classes, and more provide gators with the tools they need to prepare for a collegiate career and succeed in whatever direction they decide to take later in life.
Due to changing requirements over the past few years regarding required courses, required number of credits, etc., the easiest way to find information pertaining to each student's academics is to take a look at the Student Handbook. The handbook includes information pertaining to available courses, common procedures, academic requirements, and much more. If you need more information than that is provided in the handbook, or have a question, feel free to contact a counselor (Contact Information).

Gifted and Honors Programs
At Captain Shreve, we offer a range of courses for advanced students. Our gifted and honors courses begin at the 9th grade level and follow a college preparatory curriculum. Gifted and honors courses have many advantages such as smaller class size, personal attention, and activities which offer students opportunities for creative expression and critical thinking. Students enrolled in these programs have access to advanced technology and applications. Advanced students are challenged by instructors who are trained to incorporate engaging activities, collaborative projects, and real-world applications. Often students discover career interests in our advanced engineering, math, and language courses. Gifted and honors level courses offer additional academic enrichment, including programs which partner with the Norton Art Gallery and the Robinson Film Center. Seniors have the option to participate in Senior Trip Abroad, an experience which includes travel to countries such as Italy, Greece, France, and England.
Courses are offered in all four core content areas: English, Math, Science, Social Studies.
Advanced Placement
The Advanced Placement program is governed by the College Board. Captain Shreve offers a variety of AP courses to prepare students for AP exams and earn college credit or advanced placement in college.

Exams are administered in May for a cost of $92 per exam.

Academic Honesty Policy
The essential rules of academic honesty are that every assignment should be the original work of the student who turns it in, and appropriate credit should be given to all sources used. It is the responsibility of each student to adhere to a high code of honor and integrity.
Student, Parent/Guardian, and Teacher Responsibilities:
-
• Students are expected to adhere to the principles of academic honesty in completing all tests, quizzes, reports, assignments, discussions, and other academic work represented as their own.
-
• Parents/guardians are expected to support the spirit and intent of this agreement by reviewing the principles of academic honesty with their student and encouraging the student to practice them.
- • Teachers are expected to promote the academic honesty policy through ongoing reference to and application of the principles which safeguard the integrity of our program, to make clear to students the fact that the principles of academic honesty will be strictly enforced, and to act on and enforce appropriate consequences when a student is found to have violated the academic honesty policy.
Academic dishonesty is evidenced by not following testing procedures, cheating or plagiarizing and involves an attempt by a student to show possession of knowledge and skills he/she does not possess. Providing unauthorized information to another student, such as test, essay, or assignment answers, is also a violation of academic honesty.
Plagiarism or violations of the academic honest policy include:
- Using or having had access to unauthorized information on a test
- Stealing passages or ideas from any source and using them in one's own writing assignments without proper documentation.
- Collaborating with another student on an individual assignment.
- Recording/copying test questions or answers to pass to other students and/or receiving copied questions or answers.
- Providing or receiving answers from individual assignments or essays
- Discussing test questions or answers with another student without the express permission of the instructor.
- Altering or misusing documents
- Impersonating, misrepresenting, or knowingly providing false information as to one's identity
- Use of an online language translator
- Violation of testing procedures
Should plagiarism or violation of the academic honesty policy occur, the student will receive no credit for the assignment and may be referred to the administration for disciplinary action. In addition, a student involved in an instance of academic dishonesty should be aware of the ramifications regarding teacher recommendations and college admissions. The student remains responsible for the academic honesty of work submitted and should consult with the course instructor if anything about these guidelines is unclear.
This policy was adapted from the School Academic Honesty Agreement published by Louisiana Department of Education for Louisiana Virtual School.
