HIGH SCHOOL CURRICULUM

NOTE: The subjects (as reading, spelling, literature, and composition) that aim at developing the student's comprehension and capacity for use of written and oral language.

NOTE: The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols.

NOTE: Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system. Less formally, the word science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from it.

NOTE: Social Studies is part of high school curriculum concerned with the study of social relationships and the functioning of society and usually made up of courses in history, government, economics, civics, sociology, geography, and anthropology.

NOTE: In order to succeed in the 21st century, today’s students need to develop linguistic and cultural literacy, including academic knowledge, proficiency in English, and in several of the world’s languages and cultures.

NOTE: To help you prepare your high school transcript, here is a list of elective courses used by high schools. Generally, public schools and colleges will not accept these courses as meeting the requirements of high school math, science, history, and English but they can be used as credits for electives. If in doubt, check with your school.

NOTE: Advanced Placement, courses are college-level courses that a student can take in high school. Typically, the school offers these courses to students who are in their honors program or who have completed all the high school courses available in the subject. Advanced Placement courses are more rigorous than high school courses since they are, in fact, college courses and students can receive college credit for taking the courses, although not all colleges grant students college credit for the courses.
