The "grade levels" are for the purposes of dividing the different focuses of the curriculum for each year.  Depending on a student's writing experience, the "grade level" in which he or she may enroll may be different from the student's actual grade level.  This class requires that student be enrolled and begin the first week of class to complete the year long course (no late or mid-year enrollments).
