Independent Study Applications 2025-26
ISPE affords students the opportunity to extend physical education learning activities beyond the school campus and regular school hours. ISPE allows the student advanced study in activities not normally available in the District’s physical education program. ISPE is available for eligible students grades 6th-8th. Students who participate in ISPE are engaged in advanced levels of competition through demanding, regular, out-of school, elite physical activity. The program is designed for the student who is engaged in a preparation program for regional, State, National, or Olympic-level athletic competition in an individual or team sport or physically active performing art. ISPE is not for recreational programs; a major factor in determining acceptance or rejection of the ISPE request will be the difference between a recreational and a competitive program. The nature of the ISPE program must provide a training and weekly practice schedule minimum of 5 hours per 5 school days Monday-Friday.
Please carefully review the application for eligibility criteria and ISPE policies.
