What was/is your High School Social Science sequence?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
21

My school:

9- World History Honors (now changed to AP)
10- US I AP
11- US II AP
12- Sociology (my choice)

22

AP World I (Freshman) -> AP World II (Sophomore) -> APUSH (Junior) -> AP Gov (Senior)

Pretty typical at my school, but most people get lazy by senior year and choose to take normal gov/criminal justice/econ over AP Gov

23

9: World Geo or AP Human Geo (Social science isn’t even requires for freshman, so these are electives)
10: Reg, Honors, or AP World
11: Reg, Honors, or AP US
12: Reg, Honors, or AP US Gov; Reg or Honors Econ (1 semester each)

There’s also Sociology/Psych (1 sem each), AP Psych, and AP European History for electives that I guess you could take any time you want.

Fun Fact: I’ve taken all the social sciences offered at my school lolz.

24

9th: World Geography Honors/MUN
10th: Regular,Honors or AP World History / MUN
11th: AP Euro or (Regular,Honors or AP)US History/ MUN
12th AP Econ and Government / MUN

25

This is my plan

Freshman: Honors US History
Sophomore: APUSH
Junior: AP World
Senior: AP Psych

26

This is what honors kids do at my school

9th) AP Human Geo
10th) Honors World History (no AP)
11th) AP Gov & AP USH (we have block and we switch out on these every other day. No other class does this)
12th) I think AP economics (macro, micro, I’m not sure)

27
  1. Honors American Government
  2. AP World
  3. APUSH
  4. AP Econ
28

9: Reg, Honors, or AP World
10: nothing
11: Reg, Honors, or AP US

10: AP Euro
11: APUSH or regular US history
12: AP government, AP econ, IB 20th century/latin american history, AP psych, AP art history…although not all of these will give you history credit, they’re just “social science electives” so you might need to double up if you don’t have 3 years of history under your belt.

11th Grade - AP U.S. History
12th Grade - AP Government and/or AP European History (starting next year)

My Track:
I take absolutely no social sciences. Hate the classes for them and finished my requirements in middle school. I’d rather learn from a book.

33

For a fourth social studies credit that’s required for an “honors diploma,” people take Advanced U.S History, which is a dual enrollment course. People take that either 11th or 12th grade.

As far as rigor, there are no honors or AP classes, just regular and “CP”

Oh, and there are electives like “World War II”
