• Interim Week at Oceana High School

     

    Interim Week is an experiential and exploratory opportunity for student growth beyond one's usual class schedule.  It includes opportunities for community building and creates a sense of belonging.  Courses accomplish these goals by working towards some of the following learning outcomes:

     

    • Learning or improving a skill

    • Exploring a place off-campus

    • Being artistic and creative

    • Exploring potential passions and readying 

    • oneself for college and/or career

    • Exposure to a new culture

    • Building self-confidence

    • Stepping outside one's comfort zone

    • Creating a collective project

    • Working together toward a group goal

    • Having an exciting and/or challenging shared experience with their peers

    A diverse range of courses will be offered.  Student input will be gathered at the beginning of the school year with the aim of matching students' interests with staff members' interests and skill sets and taking into consideration financial feasibility, possible professional/community instructors, and equitable planning and preparation time for staff members.

     

    2024-2025 Interim Course Descriptions

  • Interim Course Sign-ups
    Each year, students are presented with the list of Interim courses offered. Students read the description of each interim course and rank choose the courses they’re most interested in. Students will be enrolled into their top choice courses in order of seniority, starting with the Seniors, then Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. If the demand for a course exceeds the demand within a grade level, students will be chosen by lottery.  If a student’s top choice is filled, they will enter into the lottery for their next ranked course. For highly impacted interim courses, priority will be given to students who have never been enrolled in that course.
