Maybe AP Research can be an online AP, to make room for continuing language.

Why is it worse? It a class he's looking forward to. He wants to do the research project. I didn't see AP Research offered as an online course but I will look.

Because foreign language is a core academic class to take before electives.

No. He took H. Physics.

It's a bit light to repeat that for a whole year. Is AP Mech+E&M (single period) an option?

Or AP Physics 2? That would more physics, less repetitive.


Aside, did he take all of Honors Phys, Chem, and Bio in first 2 years?

Yes, he's taken H. Physics, Bio, and Chem already. AP Mech and AP E&M are each year long classes at our school. To take both would require 2 periods. AP Physics 2 is not offered next year.

Could you elaborate? Why is DP Chem stupid? As the schedule stands now, I don't see a hole. What am I missing?

DP means "Double period”. It's one class spread across 2 slots.

(That's assuming it's after Honors Chem. DP AP Chem as fist chem course is fine.)

What would you give up for the language?

This is what he's proposing for next year

H. MWH
AP Lang
AP Mechanics
MV/DE
AP Chem (DP)
AP Research

I'm disappointed that he's not keeping his language but I don't see room for it. I suppose he could push Research to senior year. But I feel like trying to finish up a research paper at the end of the senior year is a recipe for senioritice.
