This seems like an 11th grade course schedule rather than a 10th grade one.[/quote]

This is what 10th grade at St. Anselm's Abbey looks like, except for the math.[/quote]

Yes, had already taken geometry (the usual 10th grade math) before starting at the Abbey (the AP BC track does precalc in one semester). Forgot they also have PE/intramurals.[/quote]
Standard math track at most schools is geometry in 9th. [/quote]

We alumni interview and easily 40% of applications handled geometry in 8th grade or summer school before 9th grade or concurrent with algebra in 9th grade (took two math classes).

Taking an 18 month break between algebra I and algebra II is not great for a student. And geometry is a standalone class, not a building brick for calculus 94 algebra.

Thus transcripts we see of honors kids from private or public and magnet school kids lock down a Calculus grade junior year. Plus the AP test. [/quote]
