If you are a high school student looking for curriculum and materials to meet your graduation requirements and are not necessarily interested in taking any
college-level exams at this time, you can still use the free resources at this site to design an excellent course of study.
The following list of courses
is built from recommendations for high school students in Florida public schools, but can be followed by any student, regardless of location,
provided that the student is operating within the laws of accountability for his state.
If you are intending to complete your high school studies and take the college-level exams, you will want to also read THIS PAGE for an additional example of what courses to study. This is only an EXAMPLE of what exams could
be taken to earn a college degree. You should speak with an official academic advisor at your school of choice before choosing all of your courses, to make sure
the course of study you design will meet the latest standards and requirements.
Freshmen who have sufficient math skills should skip the general mathematics course and instead use the following schedule: algebra 1, algebra 2 (found on the same page as algebra 1), geometry, statistics.*
* In many high schools, math courses are taught in the following order: algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, and then another upper level math such as trigonometry or calculus. THIS WEBSITE explains why this is, and why it is not necessary to "sandwich" geometry between the two algebra courses.
** These three languages were chosen because there are corresponding CLEP tests. Please note for any student intending to attend a traditional college or university: Most schools look for 2 - 3 years of study in ONE language, rather than shorter studies of multiple languages. Also note that the majority of higher education institutes do NOT accept sign language to fulfill their foreign language requirements. If you are not interested in the CLEP tests, you may also want to see the CLASSICAL EDUCATION page for links to Hebrew, Greek, and Latin as alternative language choices.
*** Homeschool College USA is not an accredited school and does NOT issue official transcripts or diplomas. These forms are provided for examples for homeschooling students only.
