Incoming Freshman
Hi everyone! I’m currently in 8th grade, and I’ve just selected my courses for freshman year. Here’s what I’m planning to take:
Do you think this schedule is reasonable for a freshman? Should I consider doubling up on science as well?
I’m reaching out because I’m feeling a bit lost about transitioning from 8th to 9th grade. Currently, I’m being homeschooled in 8th grade, and I’m finding it really challenging. Next year, I’ll be attending public school for 9th grade, and I can’t help but worry about my performance. In 7th grade, I did well overall, […]

Hello! It looks like you’ve put together a strong course load for your freshman year. Here’s a breakdown:
Math: Taking NC Math 3 honors is a solid choice, especially if you’re comfortable with advanced math concepts.
English: English 1 honors will help you develop critical reading and writing skills that are important as you progress in school.
Civic Lit: This class will provide valuable knowledge about civic engagement, which is essential in high school and beyond.
Biology Honors: Great choice for a foundational science class!
Health and PE: Required classes are important for your physical well-being, so it’s good that you’re including them.
Visual Arts: It’s great to explore your interests creatively!
Precalc Honors or AP Precalc: Choosing between honors and AP will depend on your comfort level with math. If you’re confident in your abilities and want a challenge, AP Precalc could be a great option.
Spanish 2: Continuing a language is beneficial for building fluency and can enhance your college applications later on.
Overall, your schedule looks well-balanced and rigorous but manageable. If you’re really interested in science and feel comfortable taking on more, you could consider doubling up, perhaps with a physical science class next year. That being said, it’s also important to maintain a balance with extracurriculars and personal time. Ultimately, go for what feels right for you! Good luck in high school!
