<p>Freshman: 2 (German and P.E.)
Sophomore: 1 (German)
Junior: 1 (German)
Senior: 2 (AP German, and something else for my art credit)</p>
<p>I know someone already joked about this, but as I entered highschool, I was really confused about what an elective was. From my understanding it’s any course outside of your required courseload. So AP Stat is a math elective, and AP Human Geography is a Social Studies elective, etc. </p>
<p>My courseload is a little fuzzy… havent gotten a schedule yet but these are the likely courses:</p>
<p>Honors English II
AP Physics
AP Calc
Student Council (YAY! Its pretty selective at my school, you need to be voted on just to be a member, and then voted again (by the entire student body) to be something like president or secretary or anything.)
Honors French III
Honors Civics and Economics</p>
<p>AP Physics and Calc might both be counted as 2 courses each, not sure yet. I would really love also taking AP Psych.</p>
<p>So… theres only 1 elective which I really count as an elective (student council) the rest are pretty academic, but I’m pretty sure Psych, French and maybe AP Calc will count as electives aswell. not sure.</p>
<p>Well if you want to put it that way, I am taking a lot of electives. For this year my electives are:
AP Environmental
AP Human Geography (online after school)
AP Statistics
AP Psychology
Spanish</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore btw</p>
<p>Obviously there are the 4 major classes Math, English, etc. we have 8 classes total 4 every other day. That leaves us with 4 empty blocks but we have to take gym for any two years same with a language to even be a HS grad but i choose 3 and a gym.</p>
<p>My high school used to run on a 7-period schedule.</p>
<p>Freshman year core requirements: Math, Science, PE/Health, Foreign Language, English, History - 1 Elective</p>
<p>Sophomore year - Same requirements, 1 elective</p>
<p>Junior year - No more PE or foreign language requirements - 3 electives</p>
<p>Senior year, they switched to an 8-period block schedule. Also, no more Social Studies requirement - 5 electives.</p>
<p>A lot of students however take the higher levels of their foreign language (III, IV, AP), and take elective Social Studies (AP Government, AP European). Personally, I took Spanish III in junior year, and AP Government in senior year.</p>
<p>I take as many electives as I can fit. Lol usually 2 /3 credits. Last year I had teen an tots and psychology and sociology this year I have ap psych and a double period of teens and tots</p>
<p>We have spots for three electives. Most kids tend to switch in a study hall for a class. Every year I’ve taken Spanish as an elective, then communications, and then study hall. Then for junior and senior years I have a before school class too, which makes it possible for me to have a study hall and still get full credits.</p>
<p>We have one spot for an elective per year, but so far, I haven’t taken any non-academic electives. I was supposed to take band last year but dropped it in favor of Honors Geometry (so I guess that was my elective last year). This year, I hope to drop band again and take AP Bio instead as an elective. Our school requires one year of visual or performing arts, so I guess I’ll have to take one at some point in these four years. I’m hoping that I can take the AP Music Theory exam or something junior year, get credit for a VPA, and be allowed to graduate with everyone else.</p>
<p>Non-Academic:</p>
<p>Freshman: Art, Choir
Sophomore: Choir
Junior: Choir, hopefully computer programming/graphic design (guidance counselor hasn’t gotten back to me yet)
Senior: Choir, hopefully Creative Writing</p>
<p>I’d go insane if I didn’t have any electives in my schedule.</p>
<p>Technically, my senior schedule was almost entirely elective classes, but that’s because my school required seniors to take only two classes, a year of English and a year of econ/ gov’t.
But my real electives looked like this:
Freshman: Art 1A, Geography
Sophomore: Speech and Debate Acc
Junior: AP Psych
Senior: Photo 1A/1B (not even sure if this counts since I needed to satisfy the UC’s visual and performing arts requirement), Philosophy</p>
<p>We have 6 classes everyday (you can do choir or an afterschool voice/music lesson though for 7th per) and freshmen year there are no elective choices, soph year there is 1 (I took one semester of psychology and Internatl relations) junior year 2 (i took AP Art History and spanish 3) and senior year 3 (AP Spanish, art 2-D and Math Analysis) we have a required religion class each year so that takes away an elective spot that mos people get.</p>
<p>all of my classes this year are electives.</p>
<p>woo!</p>
<p>(though english was required, I got to choose which class I wanted)</p>
<p>Freshman Year
-Gym
-Ceramics</p>
<p>Sophomore
-Ceramics (one semester)
-Health (one semester)</p>
<p>Junior
-Does IB Film Count?</p>
<p>Senior
-Again, does IB Film Count?</p>
<p>Umm I have 9 classes within 2 days since I have an A/B schedule. So I get 5 electives.
Freshman: Debate, Art 1, Spanish 1&2, Band, Imstramental Ensemble(Study hall + Practice)
Sophomore: Instramental Ensemble, Band, Graphic Design & Illustration, Audio&Video Production, Spanish 2/3
Junior(IB Program so less electives): IB Psycholgy, Band, Pre-AP Physics(Required), Spanish 3/4</p>
<p>Freshman year I had Drama. Thats the only elective I’ve taken and the only one I will take.</p>
<p>Freshman Year (7 classes): Art I
Sophomore Year (7 classes): Art 2 - Ceramics, Psychology (1 semester)
Junior Year (8 classes): IB Art/Design 1, Principles of Human Services (though not of my choosing)
Senior Year (8 classes): IB Art/Design 2</p>
<p>“Elective” is somewhat loosely defined - I left off foreign language and graduation requirements but I actually have to take IB Art as part of my diploma, so it’s still required.</p>
<p>lol, there’s no way I could go through the year with no electives whatsoever. I’ll have two non-academic courses all four years of high school. Art and music (: Really helps me stay balanced and on top of my other courses.</p>
<p>I go to a magnet school for the arts where your schedule is split up by academics and your major. If you look at only academics one, if you look at my major eight a year (all of which are required by my major).</p>
<p>We get 2 electives, and one is foreign language, so I’ve got band and Spanish.</p>
