High School. Schedule part 2

The last post had a high school schedule for an 11th grade student who was going to full-time dual enroll at the local community college. This next schedule would be for the student who did not want to dual enroll full-time or in the case of a Valencia Community College student, who did not pass one of the segments of the CPT.

This is for an 11th grade student who has passed the English CPT scores but not the Math. (Both of my kids did not pass the math portion the first time around)

English - ENC1101 - Freshman Composition I - Fall semester
ENC1102 - Freshman Composition II - Spring semester
Math - Algebra or Geometry - Florida Virtual School (I recommend boning up on the basic Algebra I course through the Virtual School then retake the CPT, SAT or ACT)
Science - BSC1005C - This is a biology with lab for non-majors - Fall semester
AST1000, BSC1050 or ESC1000 - Science with no lab
Social Studies - POS2041 - Fall semester
PSY1012 - Spring semester

This would give the student 9 or 10 college credits per semester and allow her to study for the CPT math. Again, this 11th grade student will be finished with the English requirement for high school and have 1 1/2 credits of science, the half credit of American government and then the half credit of elective with the psychology.

If Your Child KNOWS What he Wants!
If your student KNOWS he wants to be a doctor, then you need an advisor to get the best selection of courses from the community college and dual enrollment! For example, he would need:
BSC1010C - Biology I
BSC1011C - Biology II
CHM1045C - General Chem with Qualatative Analysis I
CHM1046C - General Chem with Qualatative Analysis II
PHY1048C - General Physics with Calculus I
MAC2311 - Calculus with Analytical Geometry I
MAC2312 - Calculus with Analytical Geometry II
STA2033 - Statistical Methods

Plenty of courses! However, he can get his AA degree in General Studies and still get in all of these courses, plus everything else required for the AA! That's what MY job is! As your high school advisor I can also advise about college and the optimal use of Dual Enrollment!

High School Schedule

Many people have asked about an example of a high school schedule. Here is an example for a college bound student in 11th grade using Dual Enrollment. I am assuming that the student passed the English and Math portions of the CPT. (Computerized Placement Test used by community colleges)

English: ENC1101 - Freshman Composition I - Fall Semester
ENC1102 - Freshman Composition II - Spring Semester
Math: MAC1105 - College Algebra - Fall Semester
STA2023 - Statistical Methods - Spring Semester (This would be for the student who either is not sure about his major or is interested in a major in business or social sciences)
Social Studies: POS2041 - US Government - Fall Semester
PSY1012 - General Psychology - Spring Semester
Science BSC1005C - Bio for non-majors with lab - Fall Semester
or
BSC1010C - Bio for majors with lab - Fall Semester
AST1000, BSC1050 or ESC1000 - (Astronomy, Environmental Science, Earth Science) These will have no lab and satisfy a science requirement. This is for a non-science major.

This is a full-time schedule with 12 or13 college credits per semester. This is how the credits will fall for high school:
ENC1101 = 1 credit of English
ENC1102 = 1 credit of English
MAC1105 = 1 credit of Math
STA2023 = 1 credit of Math
POS2041 = 1/2 credit of American Government
PSY1012 = 1/2 credit of elective
BSC1005C or BSC1010C = 1 credit of science
AST1000, BSC1050 or ESC1000 = 1/2 credit of science (no lab)

Your student now has two years of English out of the way, two years of math out of the way and a year and a half of science out of the way. He also has the US Government out of the way. If he started as a Junior, he is now finished with High School English and High School math assuming he has taken the English and Math in Freshman and Sophomore years. This frees up his time to take more college courses in the Summer semester and then Fall and Spring of his Senior year!
