What subjects do American high schools study? Grade 9, 10, 1 1, 12?

In terms of credit composition, each school has different discipline requirements.

Generally speaking, the main courses for students from grade 9 to grade 12 are as follows:

English (English writing, American literature, English literature, etc. )

Mathematics (geometry, algebra, trigonometric functions, etc. )

Natural science (biology, chemistry, physics, geography, environmental science, astronomy, etc. )

Social sciences (world history, American history, European history, American government, economics, etc. )

Foreign languages (French, German, Spanish, Latin, etc. )

Art (music, dance, drama, etc. )

Elective courses are more diverse, and practical knowledge and skills in modern society are almost all-encompassing: visual art, performance art, vocational courses and so on.

Compulsory courses in American high schools generally include English, mathematics, science and society. Although these courses are called compulsory courses, they are actually just a macro framework. Under each compulsory subject, different levels of teaching materials are used at different levels, and courses with different names are offered. At the same time, American high schools adopt the credit system, and the school requires students to complete the required credits during high school. With the increase of grade, the academic performance of each semester is increasing. Generally, at least 6 to 7 courses are taken each semester, and you can enter the next grade only after completing the credits of the previous grade. If students complete the credits ahead of time, they can graduate ahead of time, apply to enter the university or study university courses at school.
