Grade 9: pick your course
High school is course-based in Virginia, not grade-based. The 9-12 band is mapped to Computer Science Foundations (primary), Computer Science Principles (impacts and ethics), and Computer Science Programming. The band is authored and available — pick the course you teach.
Why there is no grade page here
Virginia does not set grade-by-grade computer science standards for grades 9-12. It sets three course-level standard sets — Computer Science Foundations, Computer Science Principles, and Computer Science Programming. Pick the course you teach, not the grade you teach.
The 9-12 band is authored and available. See the scope & sequence for the course map. Empty unit rows are unassigned rather than invented.
College track · Grade 9
Mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science (including cryptography), marine biology, pre-med, pre-law, and a doctoral on-ramp each keep one project for four years. Grade 9 has the work for this year, the courses beside it, and the standard a second person can check.
