Small Learning Communities
Staff Sorted by: Department | Last Name | SLC
Bentonville High School has grown very rapidly over the past few years. In an effort to help maintain the feel of a smaller school, BHS has established small learning communities for student and faculty organization. The learning communities are designed to accommodate students with similar interests and focus areas. All freshmen are in the Freshman Learning Community (FLC). Sophomores through seniors are in the learning community of their choice based upon their interests and future goals. Each student within a learning community is asked to complete three credits in his/her chosen focus area. Each focus area has a list of courses that can be taken to meet the requirement. Each learning community has a leadership team composed of an SLC principal, an office assistant, a counselor, and a teacher team leader. See a guidance counselor for more information.
