[quote=Anonymous]Can someone help me figure this out?

7 classes per semester

For an advanced diploma, students need to take English, History, Math & Science each for 4 years.  If they want to continue with a language all the way through, that means the 5th space is taken.  Then, if they want to get to AP in their other (arts) elective, there is no room for any other classes, right?

In theory, they don't need any history class in 10th grade b/c they come out of middle with 1 credit, however, I don't know any family that skipped history in 10th grade.  It's my understanding that the 11th and 12 grade history classes are mandatory.  I also know PE opens up a space after sophomore year, but they have to add in Econ & I think I read that AP science classes take up 2 periods.  Is that right? I'm just trying to make sure I understand that going all the way through to AP with language and arts means no other elective options the entire time if you chose an AP science.  This is very different from my HS experience.  Thanks![/quote]
