[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is a lot but FWIW, my older DC took 3 APs and 4 honors classes in 10th grade, and is also a 3 sport athlete (one with a large time commitment). It was a tough year but doable. The bigger “issue” with that is that it puts you on a path to bump it more and more each year, which is harder as a junior when also studying for SAT and senior while also doing college apps. But this is the life of teens nowadays! [/quote]

How important are the sports? Does his school have a sports requirement? Is he thinking of playing one in college? I would focus on the sport that he's most likely to be recruited for if the goal is to get recruited. If this is purely for fun then maybe try to tone down the least important sport.

In terms of the course load, I would probably start with 2 APs and 4 honors and no elective (keep band). If he rocks everything this year then he can go to 4 AP's his junior year and then 5 senior year. He'll have 11 and that's a lot AP's. [/quote]
