A "typical" student would probably follow this matriculation: Grade 12- chose electives |
Electives in Social Studies While this is the
minimum requirement we urge and find students to take more than the minimum.
Students are invited to take as many social studies courses as their schedules
allow. Available electives in the social studies include:
|
Anthropology |
Many of the Social Studies courses are leveled with either
A, B, or C. A level courses are apt to move at a much faster pace and go into
more detail than the B or C levels. The Advance Placement courses (AP) are
designed to prepare students for the advanced placement tests which are
administered in May. These accelerated courses provide with an opportunity to
earn college credit.
