Students in grades K-5 typically enroll in courses that are classified as “self-contained” where they spend the majority of the time in one classroom. Therefore, in most cases, there is not a need for separate course numbers within each grade level. The classroom instruction is based on the expectations identified in the Sunshine State Standards.

Students in middle grades may enroll in courses offered within the 17 different subjects areas of art-visual arts; computer education; dance; drama-theater arts; exploratory education; foreign languages; health; language arts; library media; mathematics; music; peer counseling; physical education; research and critical thinking; science; social studies; career and technical education. Each course is developed using the benchmarks outlined in the Sunshine State Standards.
