Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What classes count for Global Studies?

All the coursework in the Fine or Performing Arts beyond the first required credit, any Physical Education course beyond the first required credit, anything that is a third, fourth, fifth or sixth credit in World Language, the Social Studies electives courses (including AP Human Geography, AP Psychology, Global Issues, Student Leadership and the *many* additional courses offered), English electives (such as Yearbook, TV Production or Creative Writing) and Child Development when not used as a Program of Study for graduation.

Is it possible to be a dual completer (i.e. do AOIT and Global Studies or Engineering and Global Studies or BioScience and Global Studies)?

Yes! It involves some careful planning made easier if you happen to come into high school with any credits from middle school, but it is definitely possible. 

Are Global Issues and Student Leadership required?

While they are encouraged and wonderful courses, they are not required.
