<p>I'm in IB so all 6 of my classes are Ib/ap classes.</p>
<p>well in our school, the only REQUIREMENTS are</p>
<p>1 english course
1 humanities course (econ, law or AP Gov)
2 electives (you need 8 electives completed to graduate, some people may not even have to do these two)
2 days of gym/week
that's it.</p>
<p>my schedule
5 real classes, possibly a period of independent study for Physics C, gym, lunch, and muchos study halls :)</p>
<p>Required courses during senior year: Government, Sr SS Elective, full year English course. (In reality de facto requirements go on with one full year of math and one of science, but no foreign languages are required.)</p>
<p>Required to take? One english course senior year, six electives (no free periods allowed)</p>
<p>Normal? Usually a senior here takes about 4/5 core classes (though I did only 3, plus Comp Sci), a study hall, an art and a student aide.</p>
<p>For us, there are 7 class periods but only 5 or 6 meet each day (we have a weird schedule that's not quite like a block schedule but sort of is). Minimum courseload is 5 classes per semester, 3 of them 'academic'. Most seniors will drop 1 or 2 out of the 3 subjects that you can drop (history, science, foreign language). I'm continuing 4 years of everything, with 4 AP's (bio, gov, eng lit, fr), precalc and adv band.</p>
<p>An average senior schedule:</p>
<p>Precalc
English XII
Enviro Science
Economics/Urban Studies
Choir
Ceramics</p>
<p>We can have as many as four free periods per semester senior year and two/semester in sophomore and junior years.</p>
<p>I'm taking 6 AP classes, 3 college classes, and 2 honors + type classes.</p>
<p>AP Calc II/BC
AP Gov
AP Lit
AP Bio
AP Macro Economics
AP Micro Economics
Spanish IV
3 College Tech Classes
Fitness IV (only meaningless class)</p>
<p>Well, that's all; my Senior year will probably be brutal. (Oh, and I have block scheduling)</p>
<p>How many classes a semester...the most someone can take at my school is 8 since we have block scheduling. Also, everyone must be enrolled in at least 5 classes.</p>
<p>I have.. four APs, and then photo and orchestra</p>
<p>I will be taking the following classes next year. Calc and American Problems are offered to take AP tests.</p>
<p>-American Problems College Honors (college credit thru St. Louis University as well as AP)
-Calculus Honors
-Web Design I and II (not sure, but believe dual-credit class with community college)
-College English (dual-credit thru community college)
-Spanish IV Honors
-Advanced Biology Honors</p>
<p>Also I am taking a study hall which will allow me to participate in the school-based Big Brother/Big Sister program with our elementary schools.</p>
<p>in my school you can do 8 classes each half of the year. seniors have to take a full year of gym and half year of civics if they didnt take it as a junior. besides that most take basic subject classes.</p>
