Courses
For the first two years at Frisch, a student's courses are set according to the school's core curriculum. This includes, for both years: An elective (Spanish, French, Latin, or engineering), A hard science (Biology in 9th grade and chemistry in 10th grade), English, History (World History in 9th grade and American History in 10th grade), Mathematics, Hebrew Language, Torah (the Pentateuch), Nach (Nevi'im "Prophets" and Ketuvim "Writings"), and Talmud (Jewish Law).
In 11th grade, students have the option of either furthering a third year of a language or taking a different elective. Five Advanced Placement Program (AP) courses are offered to 11th grade students. They are: AP Physics B, AP Art History, AP Statistics, AP United States History, and AP English Language and Composition.
In 12th grade, as in 11th grade, a student may continue with the language which they had previously been taking at the AP Level. Electives available to 12th graders are: AP Macroeconomics, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP English Literature and Composition, AP Psychology, AP European History, AP Physics C, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, Latin Literature; Music Theory, AP Studio Art, AP Art History, AP Computer Science A, Psychology, Astronomy, and more.

Famous quotes containing the word courses:
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
