It is that time of year again: it is time to pick your scheduling for the year following. What should you pick? Lindenhurst offers many different courses for you to choose from.

Look into courses that you are interested in taking that could help you in college. Lindenhurst offers college and Advanced Placement courses to those who are looking to get college credits early on. College is expensive, so why not get some credits in high school that can potentially be used towards college? The credits you pay for in high school are much cheaper than paying for the same ones in college. The college classes that are offered at Lindenhurst High School may even be slightly easier than those you would attend in college! 

Many people have trouble picking their classes for next year. If you are an upcoming senior, taking math and science are not required, but are recommended. This is because continuing these courses may benefit you in college and will show colleges that you tried and continued to take the main subjects in high school, even when you didn’t need to. Some science options for seniors next year are AP Environmental, AP and College Biology, AP/SUPA Chemistry, College and Regular Forensics, College and Regular Marine Biology, etc. Some math classes available are AP Statistics, AP and College Calculus, Statistics and Data, Calculus, etc.

English and social studies are required for everyone all four years of high school. Physical education is also required every year. You can now take yoga as your gym credit if physical education isn’t what you’re interested in taking. If you enjoy sports and regular gym and are looking for college credits, Adelphi gym could be for you. You can have fun enjoying advanced activities in this gym class and also receive college credit for it!

Picking your schedule can be challenging, but can also be fun! As you pick your schedule for next years, also think about how it can impact you in the future and help you with your education after high school. Lindenhurst offers many options and students should take advantage of these courses that can help them in the near future. Good luck!
