Freshmen- Honors California History
Sophmore- AP World History
Junior-AP US History
Senior-AP Economics and AP Government</p>
This is the schedule at my school. Every class has three levels - college prep, honors, and high honors. APs are weighted at the same level as high honors classes.</p>
Freshman Year: World History or integrated English & History. I took high honors World History.</p>
Sophomore Year: Modern World History or Geography. I took high honors Geography. My teacher recommends we take the AP test so I did, and got a 5. :)</p>
Junior Year: US History, AP US History or integrated English & History. I am currently taking APUSH.</p>
Senior Year: At my school, the amount of senior social studies electives is crazy. We have 4 AP senior electives: AP Economics, AP European History, AP Psychology, and AP Political Science. Otherwise, for college prep, honors, or high honors class levels, we have courses in political science, popular culture, international relations, psychology, psychology & sociology, philosophy, economics, law and justice, modern America, current issues, and art history. I’m taking AP Psych next year!</p>
At my school:</p>
Freshman - Only option is to take “Foundations of World History”</p>
Sophomores - Either “AP World History” or “World History(Regular)”</p>
Juniors - Either “APUSH” or “Regular US History(RUSH)”</p>
Seniors - Either “AP Comp Gov, AP US/Amer Gov, AP US and Comp Gov, Comp Gov, US GOv, US and COMp gov” (I know kinda overwhelming)</p>
No AP Euro offered at my school</p>
9th: World History (Honors)
10th: APUSH or other electives.
11th: APUSH/AP Euro or other electives
12th: AP Euro or other electives. We have some cool ones, besides AP Gov, Psych.</p>
Unfortunately, as someone stated, I have to take four years of gym, so that means a maximum of six classes a year, so I can’t take all those pretty electives. Even though I’m a three sport athlete, even when I do get a waiver junior and senior year from gym while on the sport, I have to take an athletic study hall.</p>
Four years of Gym? Oh H-word no! We only need half a year!</p>
Freshman: World History Honors
Sophomore: AP US History I (Crossing the uncovered Bering Sea to The Civil War)
Junior: AP US History II (Reconstruction to Present Day)
Senior: No history required</p>
From a student’s Junior year he’s allowed to take any AP HASS elective including World History, European History, US Government, and Psychology. One of the AP US History teachers (of which we have two) is locally renown for how well he develops his students’ writing skills with respect to structure and organization. Clearly I had the other teacher.</p>
There isn’t really one. The normal progression goes:
9th: No Social Sciences
10th: US History I (Constitution to WWI)
11th: US History II (Roaring 20’s to Present)
12th: World Cultures (more modern history in different areas around the globe)</p>
However, there are a ton of social science electives. AP World History, AP European History, etc. Planning to take AP Economics next year (includes Macro and Micro).</p>
9th-Honors World History
10th-Honors of APUSH
11th-Contemporary History (regular) or AP Euro
12th-Honors Econ, AP Gov or Honors Gov</p>
Freshman - Global History Honors
Sophomore - AP European History
(We have to take a Regents exam in global history at the end of sophomore year, so all non-European history is covered in 9th grade.
Junior - AP US History (AP Psych is also made available as an elective)
Senior - AP US Government</p>
Freshman: World History 2-Continued from 8th grade, if I remember correctly it starts at the Renaissance
Sophomore: US History 1-up to Civil War/Reconstruction over the summer (my school likes stretching things out)
Junior: US History 2 + Thesis paper
Senior: None required, but overachievers/smart kids take AP Euro.<br>
During Junior and Senior year, you can get recommended for AP US Government, AP Euro or AP Psych, but you have to take Psych, which is a Junior year semester class, or a class outside of school to take it Junior year. Most take it senior.</p>
9-ok history & us goverment(pre-ap or regular)
10- ap & regular us history
11- ap & regular world history
12- nothing required but you can take pretty much ap class, there are also semester long classes like east asia studies, comparative religion, holocaust studies, & a class or two more
btw you can take any of the 12th grade classes in the 11th too, but it’s mainly 12th graders that want an easy class lol</p>
[“AP” path]
Freshman Year: World History CP / [Global Studies Honors]</p>
Sophomore Year: US History I CP or Honors / [AP US History]</p>
Junior Year: US History II CP or Honors / [AP US Gov & Politcs] -some students who didn’t take APUSH choose to double up and take US II with AP Gov or APUSH and AP Gov</p>
Senior Year: CP students normally drop history, honors kids take AP Gov, AP kids are done </p>
*After AP Gov there’s no other AP history classes, most kids will take International Studies or Conscience of Man but those are only considered elective classes scheduling wise</p>
Freshman year: US History (either I or 9; the first is a more accelerated version</p>
Sophomore year: World history (regular or AP; you can take AP USH as well, but a world history course is required, and AP World is the vogue for sophomores at our school, which made the class unbelievably fun)</p>
Junior year: This is where the electives start to open up. Intro Psych, AP Psych, Sociology, AP USH, Law and the Constitution, and AP Government (which is a substitute for the government class required for seniors).</p>
Senior year: Government (required, replaced by AP)</p>
<p>9th grade: none
10th grade: World Civ CP or AP Euro
11th grade: US History CP or AP USH
12th grade: Econ/Gov CP or AP US Gov/Macro</p>
<p>For IB:</p>
<p>9th grade: IB-MYP Civics/Economics
10th grade: AP Euro or IB-MYP World History
11th grade: IB History of the Americas I
12th grade: IB History of the Americas II</p>
<p>For non-IB</p>
<p>9th grade: Honors Civics/Economics (no APs available to freshmen)
10th grade: AP Euro or Honors World History
11th grade: AP US History
12th grade: AP Euro (if not taken in 10th grade), AP Macro, or AP Psych</p>
<p>My school is weak when it comes to APs.</p>
<p>9th: AP World History
10th: AP US History
11th: AP US gov 1st semester, AP comparative gov 2nd semester
12th: AP art history, AP econ, or AP human geography. Most people take econ, art history, or both.</p>
<p>You pretty much just take the honors version of the required courses:
9th: N/A
10th: US History I
11th: US History II
12th: World Cultures</p>
<p>Those who go heavy into social science also take AP World, AP Euro, and AP Economics. I have a friend that’s taken all honors and those three classes, so I guess that’d be the “advanced” social science track.
Yeah, no AP US. Not sure why.</p>
<p>9 - World History or AP World History
10 - US History or AP US History
11 - Gov/Econ or AP Gov/Econ
12- none required</p>
<p>AP Euro and AP Comp. Gov can be taken at any point.</p>
<p>9 - US History Hon
10 - AP US Gov
11 - AP World History/AP Micro/Macro/AP Euro/AP CoPo
12 - AP Micro/Macro/AP Euro/AP CoPo</p>
<p>9th - Honors Geography
10th - Honors World History and/or AP Euro
11th - Honors or AP US History (required)/AP Psych
12th - AP Gov/AP Economics/AP Euro/AP Psych/probably a few more that I’m missing.</p>
