I don’t even know what to say about what covering the entire history of the world from creation to the middle ages in 9-12 months would entail. More than you’ve got time for, surely. If you look at the curriculum for the AP test in American history, you’ll see that it includes some material on pre-Colombian societies, and the colonial period only starts in 1492. The entire world is a big place, you might want to lop off a smaller bit.
Also, think about what you want the Latin to do. While there are still some classical programs in the colleges (do a college search for them) some ordinary colleges won’t recognize Latin credits towards their language requirements. If you’re going to need to show 2 years, now is the time.
Phys ed?
That is not in any sense sufficient for college prep work. the student should be withdrawn from any school that has such a poor course of study. Even the public schools do better than that.
If the remainder of the high-school course of study at ths school is no better–don’t plan on college. And–I am NOT saying that because its a “Christian school”–I went to one myself and it was excellant. This is not–it’s as simple as that.
