<p>I ask because my school has all the typical, boring classes and I often see schedules on this site that have very interesting-looking classes. What does your school offer that is really interesting and thought-provoking?</p>
<p>Let’s see… we actually have a lot of fun science classes. I know we have Meteorology, Astronomy, Marine Biology, and my H. World History teacher wants to teach a class next year on the history of espionage because a bunch of his AP classes are getting cut.</p>
<p>We only have typical courses. We also have an autoshop that I think would be pretty cool.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I really wish we had marine biology.</p>
<p>The most enriching one I ever took was Speech and Debate, I’m so much more confident when speaking now.</p>
<p>I’d say the most unique at my ‘regular’ high school would probably be the Shakespeare class. Sadly it didn’t work out with my schedule so I couldn’t take it. </p>
<p>The dual-enrollment school I go to has, in addition to almost all AP classes, all sorts of cool stuff like auto shop (you can really bring in your car to be fixed for free, but it takes some extra time) and radio broadcasting (station coming next year, it’s a brand new program). There’s a cooking class that runs an actual cafe and an early childhood education class with a real daycare. But the coolest class I ever actually took was Alternative Energies. </p>
<p>We got to learn how to make biodiesel with the Wake Forest Chemistry Department, built functioning wind turbines (with wood and PVC, not cardboard), and right now we are building solar hot water panels. The auto tech class built a go-kart for a race and it runs off of biodiesel we made. I was a little thrown off by the level of hands-on work but I LOVE that class.</p>
<p>Hmm…we have a Community Service class, where kids get to go to local elementary schools and help little kids or go into town and clean it up, or just anything service related.</p>

<p>Probably Agriculture Education.</p>
<p>Basically, you apply to the program and you learn how to take care of animals, plants, the environment, etc.</p>
<p>We actually have alpacas next to our football field.</p>
<p>Our outdoor education class apparently is pretty unique. We’ve also got astronomy and forensic science. We’re starting a horticulture pathway soon I think too</p>
<p>We have typical courses. The other interesting classes keep getting cut (AP Euro, AP Stats, etc). I’d say the most unique class would be law.</p>
<p>We also have a parenting class.</p>
<p>The most enriching class… AP Psychology. I might be biased, as the teacher is my adviser and it’s my favorite course. It’s just so interesting! That might just be me though.</p>
<p>Unique classes…
History of Rock and Roll, Literature of War, Science Fiction Literature, Satire and Humor in Literature, Children’s Literature, Engineering courses (science credit), Rhetoric of Politics, Oral Interpretation of Literature, and Script to Screen (Film).</p>
<p>Unique classes: Forensics, Robotics, Oceanography, Psychology, Sociology, Lit & Film, Baseball History and Criminal Minds or something like that. Lol. </p>
<p>And history of rock and roll? Haha so cool.</p>
<p>Pre-Vet. I love this class because we had pigs, horses, dogs, chickens, ducks and calves come in our classroom.</p>
<p>Unique Classes: Ballroom Dancing, Modern Physics, Organic Chemistry, Irish History, Modern Politics, Robotics, Christian Literature, Neurobiology, Microbiology, Ornithology, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations
Yeah, it’s pretty beast.</p>
<p>My school has a series of engineering class that go from basic engineering design to biotech engineering (new for next year). I think we might have jewelry making too, and ceramics.</p>
<p>@LesleyCordero: yes! history of rock and roll is a very cool class. it counts as a history course too! :)</p>
<p>apparently for forensic chemistry, the final is finding out who the culprit of a crime is</p>
<p>Probably the most unique course we have is Voyages and Vessels, which is an English/Woodshop class where you get to focus on novels with a theme of adventure while building your own working boat from scratch.</p>
<p>child development</p>
<p>Probably the most unique class we have is Basketball Theory. It’s new, and it sounds like a kind of strange class to have for a school, but yes, it exists.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Speech and Debate certainly wasn’t pointless.</p>
<p>My Alt Energies teacher did extensive searching and found only 2 other high schools in the country offering that class. That’ll be a big deal to the several people in our class who want to go into a green energy field. (I don’t, it was just a fun way to knock out my last science requirement)</p>
