Classes to Take Note of…● US History credit at high school requires TWO Valencia courses: AMH2010 AND AMH2020.● US Government credit is ONLY satisfied by POS2041, not the local and state Gov. class at Valencia● ECO 1000 meets the requirement for high school required Economics credit.● You need four credits of English to graduate, most DE students take English Honors 1 & English

Honors 2 at Windermere and then, English Composition 1 and English Composition 2 at Valencia.● Science courses without a lab will count as a half credit on the high school side.● Most electives count as a half credit on the high school side. Intermediate Algebra is only a half

credit in high school, if you need a fourth math to graduate keep this in mind.

● Do not sign up for PE classes, classes that are less than 3 credits, or FLEX courses at Valencia.
