Selecting
Your Courses
Part

The
following subjects and classes are standard fare for success in high school and
beyond, whether you plan to attend a four-year or two-year college.
English

Take English
every year. Traditional courses, such as American and English literature, help
you improve your writing skills, reading comprehension and vocabulary
Math
You need
algebra and geometry to succeed on college entrance exams and in college math
classes-and in many careers. Take them early on. That way, you’ll be able to
enroll in advanced science and math in high school, and show colleges you’re
ready for higher-level work.

own program , but some of the courses typically offered are:
·
