As you plan out your freshman year in high school, you’ll need to choose 7 courses. The first choice you will need to make is deciding which core courses you would like to take. Below are some questions to ask yourself as you choose your core courses:

Is this a subject that I really like? Would I like a challenge in this subject?
Do I need to consider my activities outside of school to balance those with my school workload?
Can I make a commitment to do the work needed to get the grade I want?

Use the planning document below to start mapping out your 9th grade core courses. No worries, you'll have a chance to map out your electives in a little while.

You'll select the same course for both Sem 1 and Sem 2 since they are year-long courses. You might have an option to change your schedule during the semester if needed.
